Re: NJ不让自己加油是怎么回事儿？
加油这事，一般三五个月才能出徒，生手熟手差很多，同样的一加仑跑得公里数不一样

Re: NJ不让自己加油是怎么回事儿？
大约70年前，加油并不方便，大部分加油站都有人帮忙加油。但是突然有就个加油站让车主自己加油，因为节省了人工，这个加油站的油价更便宜。慢慢的，这个自己加油的油站生意越来越好。于是不准自己加油的油站老板们怒了，集合起来找了议员，通过了一条法律，不容许自己加油。一旦发现，车主罚500美元，加油站罚500美元。一直到现在。

It was there that I dug up the story of Irving Reingold. Here is how I recounted it in a column back then:
"It was Irving Reingold who created the crisis that led to the law banning self-serve gasoline. Reingold, a workaholic who took time out only to fly his collection of World War II fighter planes, started the crisis by doing something gas station owners hated: He lowered prices. Fifty-one years ago, gas was selling at 21.9 cents a gallon. The price was rigged by a gentlemen's agreement among gas station owners.
"Reingold decided to offer the consumer a choice by opening up a 24-pump gas station on Route 17 in Hackensack. He offered gas at 18.9 cents a gallon. The only requirement was that drivers pump it themselves. They didn't mind. They lined up for blocks.
"The other gas station operators didn't like the competition. Someone tried shooting up Reingold's station. But he installed bulletproof glass, so the retailers looked for a softer target - the Statehouse. The Gasoline Retailers Association prevailed upon its pals in the Legislature to push through a bill banning self-serve gas. The pretext was safety, but the Hackensack fire chief had already told all who would listen that Rein- gold's operation was perfectly safe.
"The bill sailed through in record time, despite the objections of everyone who cared about the public interest. Journalists howled. "Chalk up another victory for the organized pressure groups," said WOR radio commentator Lyle Van.
"Prices went back up. Reingold got out of gas and moved on to other endeavors, such as revolutionizing the sport-fishing business in Florida with boats that were bigger and more luxurious than anyone had seen.
"He died two years ago. His daughter Roni told me that on his deathbed he was still angry about the way the politicians ran him out of business. It's amazing that New Jersey consumers could still be suffering in the Internet era from a crooked deal that went through in the pre-television era."
And that, boys and girls, is how we got the ban on self-service gas that exists to this day. It's also why we can't get rid of it. Then as now, our Legislature is up for sale to the highest bidder.
