I wouldn't prefer this today however, in a car I care about - I'd much rather pump my own for so many reasons...

I've been told any number of different reasons for why it's illegal, but I believe it has to do with keeping down unemployment mostly. Of course that's perfectly OK when you have such low gas taxes and dirt cheap gas. Full service for Premium around me is going to cost almost $4.50 a gallon.
