yup it's true. You can't pump your own gas in New Jersey. Which is kind of nice when weather is bad. And for what ever reason Jersey gas prices are usually lower than New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Jerseys bordering states. At least on the Jersey turnpike.

No timewarp. I live near NJ and it's full-serve only. You can't pump your own gas in NJ.
I have seriously never heard of such a thing. I've only seen it/heard of it from the "good old days".

Then they try to talk about "record breaking profits", when they don't factor in inflation, or the percentage of revenue to profits. The oil industry has one of the lowest profit margins of all sectors out there.
I know you're trying to appeal to rationality but the fact is oil companies do make record profits and they rank at the top of the Fortune Global 500 for a reason.

Fairly normal... refineries are taken down for maintenance every year at this time. They use the downtime to change from the "winter blend" to the "summer blend" which uses more butane in the mix thereby increasing the prices at the pump.

Another tip that I heard before, and now do, is when you pump your own gas, lift up the hose higher than the nozzle. Oft times, some residual gas lays in the hose after you're done pumping. Maybe only a few cents worth, but every little bit helps. When attendants pump your gas they don't do this.
The gas stops at the nozzle!!! that's why it has that Winchester type handle!
