Just curious to see how many people pump their own gas or have someone else do it. Chat Icon

Full service because you aren't allowed to pump your own gas in my town.

Re: Gas Station Poll

I usually pump my own, but sometimes I hit the full-service one on my way home from work if I'm running low

Re: Gas Station Poll

I like self serve because I go faster than the guys that work there.

Me too.

The only time I get full service is in NJ or when DH is with me and he pumps the gas Chat Icon

Re: Gas Station Poll

There are not too many full service stations in Chicago, so I usually pump my own gas. Whenever I'm home in NY, I go to the full service station nearby.

Re: Gas Station Poll

it depends- the gas station by my house is usually cheaper then the full serve by my office

but if it's raining or the price is the same- I go to full serve

I have to pump 20 gallons at least- that takes a long time

Re: Gas Station Poll

There is a Sunoco by me that has gas cheaper than everyone else. They are full service. Go figure.

If I'm not in the area I pump my own gas.

My mom always told me "Just because you are a feminist doesn't mean you have to pump your own gas"Chat Icon

I do tho. Unless there is no other option. Usually b/c I am impatient and use my debit card and I can do it faster.

Re: Gas Station Poll

DW and I always pump our own. We don't spill gas all over the side of our car, we don't "overfill" the tank, and we take better care of our car than the attendants there. It's also a lot faster.

Re: Gas Station Poll

I used to occasionally use full service years ago but now that you can swipe your credit card right at the pump I always go self service.

Same.

(Although I prefer to pump my own. Sometimes I'll go out of my way to find a station with self service. Chat Icon )


Question for those who live in the Town of Huntington...do the gas stations charge more b/c they're full-service? Chat Icon I've never compared the prices to the stations outside of the town that have self-services.

Re: Gas Station Poll

Full serve is generally more expensive and frankly that is just throwing money away. If the price is the same, then its a different story. I prefer to do self serve at gas stations. I also prefer self-check outs at supermarkets.

Same for me. But I get gas at BJ's a lot, so I pump my own when I go there.
