Why can't you pump your own gas in NJ? Trust me if Microsoft makes it, it’s not gonna work right.

I think it may even be illegal to attempt to operate the pump by yourself..... Umm…isn’t this kinda pointless in states like NJ where you can’t fill your own tank?

You pull up, slide your card, put the nozzle in the tank. The M$ software figures out the make, model and year of your car - therefore how big the tank is, and then attempts to pump that amount into the tank. This causes an overflow, spilling gas everywhere!. Then, it sends you a text message, to inform you that it has completed, which activates your cell phone, and causes the whole station to blow up!!! Ha ha, I can see it now…

How about this for an idea; scrap this junk and pass on the savings through lower gas prices. And on 'low gas price' days I can just image the frustrations that are going to arise, because some idiot is buying coffee or a lottery ticket while there's a chorus of honks from all the cars lined up behind him waiting for the pump!

I can see 5 min per fillup, but per day? I average about 5 min a month, but I don't commute. Is SUV mileage that bad? Average 5 minutes a *day* at the gas pump?

Ew? Is the pump going to spit it out for you like those little dispenser machines that make the cup fall down, then pour the coffee, then the powdered artificial imitation cream food substance? Just what that coffee needs, a few stray gasoline molecules to add to the flavor. Also, the lottery is a tax on the mathematically impaired. Buy coffee without going inside? Ew?
