Not necessarily bad, just different. I learned not to slam them as the last time I did somebody referred me to a site indicating they are the safest in the nation.
I live in Washington so I was aware of Oregon having that law. I didn't think it was the case anywhere else. So the first time I was in New Jersey I went to a crowded station by the airport to fill the rental car. I get out and start to fill the tank. I am a big guy and this little guy comes running over yelling at me and threatening to kick my ***. I just told him he was no where near big enough to talk to me like that and kept filling the tank. He said he would call the cops. I said go for it. I finished and took my receipt and left. If he had been polite and explained that it was the law i would have acted differently. Normally when I am in Oregon I would be driving my diesel pu. The law there doesn't apply to diesel. No it's allowed in more rural areas. I think soon the whole law will be gone. I hope so.Around here it’s the NJ and PA drivers that seem to go faster.
I always wonder what the NJ drivers do to get gas here, since they apparently aren’t capable of pumping their own.
Depends on the area, my truck holds close to 40gal, the price difference can be over $1per gal depending on the area I'm in. If I only need 10gal to get home then yeah, the $30plus difference is worth it. I also prefer to use southern states since they have 50 cetane diesel.
I specifically requested premium in my Vette at an Oregon station. It was running poorly and I checked the receipt. He put regular in. I had to keep stopping to add premium to try and improve the fuel in the car. It was knocking and had very reduced power.
