Was wondering what the scoop was on this subject and I found a lot of colorful and sensible comments. I personally do not pump and vape but have givien it some thought a time or two and wondered if anyone would give a hoot.
Gasoline is not nearly as easy to ignite as is generally advertised,
Heh, I've STILL seen people pump gas while smoking a cigarette.
As a New Jersey resident though (now), I don't pump my own gas, and so, as courtesy to my gas station attendant, I don't vape while he's fillin' me up. I probably could, and I'd probably get a strange look or a question or two, but it's just easier to avoid it. I can wait a few minutes.

Are you still not allowed to pump your own gas in Jersey? The segment The Daily Show did about that was one of the funniest things in the history of western civilization, with the industry lobbyist guy saying (in complete seriousness) that you can't let people pump their own gas because they might be eaten by wild dogs.

Loooool! That's great, I hadn't seen that. And yeah, you still can't LEGALLY pump your own gas in New Jersey. As a former New York resident, that really threw me off the first few times I tried to get gas in Jersey. I'd step out of my car and start looking to use the machine and then the guy would be like, "Hey!" and I'd remember what state I was in. (Inebriated. No, I kid.)
It's kinda nice though, if I want to grab a beverage from 7/11 or whatever, I can tell the guy to "fill 'er up with regular" and then run and grab my drink, coming back to a fully-gassed car.
