You still can't pump your own gas in New Jersey (as mentioned in the article) and it's really annoying

You can with a motorcycle. The attendants just hover around and may help with the pump since they aren't set up for normal self-serve menus.

  can you legally transfer that fuel into your car?

    I don't think it's legal, but a lot of places allow it. My friend never had any issue filling up his motorcycle by himself, but it could be that the attendants didn't want a confrontation. I'm pretty sure motorcycles would be under the statutes listed here: https://www.nj.gov/labor/safetyandhealth/resources-support/laws-regulations/gasact.shtml https://www.nj.gov/labor/safetyandhealth/resources-support/l...

  This is interesting. Had no idea that was the case. Just read it on here: https://www.nj.gov/labor/safetyandhealth/resources-support/laws-regulations/gasact.shtml https://www.nj.gov/labor/safetyandhealth/resources-support/l...

    Learned driving a 1979 VW Rabbit diesel up and down the GSP and Turnpike!

I used to fill up in Camden on my way back from New York into Philadelphia, and never with my usual credit card - I had one specific for gas and automotive costs (which got me free Amtrak rides, basically), and about a decade ago, that card was regularly cloned by New Jersey gas station attendants. It never really affected me, I'd get a new card in the mail in short notice, but I was always struck by how they'd just go to Wal Mart or a convenience store, and never actually blow that much.

  If you attempt to steal $1000 from 100 people it gets noticed quickly. If you steal $25 from 100 people, probably half of them don't notice at all.

    This is probably what was happening. Once it gets noticed, the purchases are deemed fraudulent and the cards are closed. I had my credit card information stolen in a similar scenario. They spent $500 at Walmart and I noticed :)

You can. You just get out and start doing it and they leave you alone.

  Sure, but it's not legal. Most gas attendants probably don't want to have a confrontation
