You mean forward? Seriously, MA has no law about entering a gas station in any certain direction. Although, I could at least understand that law if it existed. Basic traffic flow control. It would probably not be essentially important, but I could understand it.

But I honestly don't understand why people aren't allowed to pump their own gas in OR and NJ. Do the 16-year-old boys that do the pumping have to go thru special training to do it right?

Last summer I was in a busy gas station in Mass. It turned
out the gas tank was on the other side of the car (rental)
so I drove around the island & went to the other side.
Everyone else was facing the other way. Some guy came
running out & told me I could not fill up facing that way,
a new law had gone into effect mandating a "forward"
direction that everyone had to maintain. Maybe 'cause I
was wearing my Yankees hat?
