It's illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon and New Jersey. I traveled to Oregon and just started pumping my own and the worker there looked at me like I had 2 heads, so now I know. Independent stations typically are not self serve, but the big chains typically are (Exxon, Shell, etc.) I've been going to the independents since you can save a lot by paying cash, and these days it's actually nice to talk to people instead of listening to robot checkout voices.

I'm curious what is being offered as the standard tire. The only "standard" tires I've been offered are all-season tires. I always get snow tires (as noted in the other comments), and also get quieter tires for not winter.
