Dozens of New Jersey gas stations plan to offer discounted fuel on Friday in the latest push to convince state leaders to allow for self-service.<\/p>\n

You won’t have to pump your own gas to get the price break from record high gas prices during the Fuel Your Way NJ coalition’s Self-Serve Day of Awareness. The cost drops will vary by location, but are meant to reflect how much consumers could save per gallon with self serve available.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the cost of gas prices continuing to rise, it’s taking a bigger and bigger bite out of people’s wallets,\u201d Sal Risalvato of Fuel Your Way NJ said in a statement. “We want the public to know that one of the quickest ways we can reduce gas prices is to allow gas stations the ability to offer self-serve in New Jersey.”<\/p>\n

New Jersey is the last state to prohibit drivers from pumping their own fuel.<\/p>\n

Gas prices stand at a record high of $ 4.48 per gallon for regular in New Jersey, above the national average of $ 4.42 reported by GasBuddy.com on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“The price drop will vary station to station, but on average it will be about 15 cents per gallon,” said Bruno Tedeschi, a coalition spokesman.<\/p>\n

Motorists who pull into participating gas stations will also be handed a facsimile of a $ 100 bill during the next several weeks with a message that they could save $ 100 to $ 400 per year if the state allowed self-serve. Motorists will be encouraged to contact their representatives demanding passage of the legislation.<\/p>\n

A bill introduced in February stalled in the state legislature after State Senate President Nicholas Scutari, D-Union, said in March he does not currently support the self-service bill, making it unlikely he’ll post it for a vote and effectively killing it .<\/p>\n

The New Jersey Gasoline-Convenience-Automotive Association estimates stations could drop prices 15 cents a gallon if they’re allowed to offer self-service. However the legislation doesn’t specify how much of that cost saving would be passed on to customers if self serve were permitted<\/p>\n

The coalition has launched an online petition drive and is asking drivers to contact legislators about supporting the bill.<\/p>\n

Gas stations will also display a sign next to pumps that have been closed with the message: “This pump would be open if New Jersey allowed self-serve fueling.”<\/p>\n
