The state of NJ where we used to live is one of the few states that does not allow you to pump your own gas, there are are still a few full service stations (ones that do repairs) that have them.
 
Had one on my forecourt until 1988 and the guy I sold the business to kept it until he gave selling petrol about four years later.
