And I highly doubt that the full service has anything to do with the gas prices there. I would think that hiring extra employees would bump prices UP if anything.
And as for the left-turn nonsense, I was driving to my girlfriend in jersey a few weeks ago, and I passed a border's book store sign and thought to myself "I'm a bit early, i think I'll stop in at borders and pick up that book I've been meaning to buy." I turn right at the next intersection thinking I can turn back around, only to have to turn right again because low & behold there was still no left turn. So I continue down the road I started on, to a real intersection, turn right, turn around, wait 5 minutes for the left turn signal and head back towards borders. I end up passing borders, and it's another minute or two of driving before the opportunity to turn left comes up, which consists of turning right and driving a quarter mile around houses to make my way back to the light I passed 5 minutes before.
Thank god my girlfriend's street (somehow) has a left turn signal. That state is so illogical it's ridiculous.
