Nope. Full service ONLY.

Wow, I didn't know anyone was still only doing full service, Thats kind of nifty though.

I'm originally from a town in Texas of 4000 people. When I was younger I worked at a local store there, people wouldn't believe me when I told them they could pump gas BEFORE they paid.

No real mods yet, unless you consider drop in K&Ns, a cabin air filter (thanks to the370z.com DIY), and a semi-custom cargo mat mods. And don't worry...you'll probably never see it. I put it in the driveway when I get there and it stays there all weekend until I leave.

Good old fill up before you pay is cool!

Is there price difference between self and full service ? I love the full service idea because we pay the same price as the rest of the country and still get full service

In freezing winter or scorching summer heat, we don't have to get out of our cars

Yes, that was me heading home. I agree...that car in that color looks like nothing else on the road. I wasn't sure what was coming at me at first, but got $#!+faced when I realized what I was seeing.

I felt the exact same way. At first I was like, wow that car looks great. As I was getting closer, I realized it's a Blue 370Z! I was like

. Did you do anything to your car yet?

The only thing I have done to it since the filters is put it on a steady diet of gas from PA. I’ve gone back and forth on a few things (cat-back exhaust and/or HFCs, wheels, rear fog light, etc.), but it will probably be a while before I do anything significant.

Yea, It's the same price but at least I have the right gas in the tank and no gas spill on the fender

Quite a few gas stations here don't even have a Full Service side, It's actually rare to see now.

Dude, tell me about it! When I had the 350Z, this idiot attendant put 87 in my tank even I told him 6 times "93 Premium please". After about 10 gallons, I happen to look at the meter and saw it. I immediately yelled at him to stop the pump and asked him to fill up the rest with 93. From that incident, I DO NOT look away until the attendant started the pump! I still do this everytime. I think I really wouldn't mind self service as I will be much more careful filling up my car. Too bad, it's illegal (I think) in New Jersery
