Not sure if it is true or not but I heard that such a law was incacted to prevent the dreaded overspill polution. IE a " trained" attendant will not over fill your tank and spill gas out onto the pavement and therefor contaminate the local water supply. So goes the theory :sleep: Bored legislators sounds like to me.

man....I could see someone taking there car there and then coming back with lawsuit papers in hand claiming that the over-spill (actually old age peeling/faded paint) on their $10,000 (actually $2000) paint job !
and wanting the whole car painted to match the touch up !

:yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:

needless to say...we have self-serv around me........when it gets to -20 degrees below....the attendants dont even toss the salt out the door anymore... :lol: :lol:
