Associated Press: Self-service gas would finally come to New Jersey under a plan unveiled Thursday by Gov. Jon S. Corzine to help the state battle increasing gas prices. Only New Jersey and Oregon require full-service gas pumping. New Jersey first banned self-service gasoline stations in 1949 as a safety measure. Oil companies have lobbied to overturn the ban for years.
