Don't worry, Jersey.

Your next governor may have grown up out of state, but he says he won't make you pump your own gas.

Gov.-elect Phil Murphy weighed in on the Garden State's great gas debate Monday, saying he's cool with allowing New Jersey to remain the last state in America where self-serve gas is prohibited.

"The way gasoline is delivered in this state is part of our fabric," the Democrat told NJ Advance Media after an unrelated event in Ewing. "So it's not on my list."

Murphy hails from Massachusetts, which of course lets you pump our own.

"It's such a passionate thing, it's not on our list," insisted Murphy, who will be sworn in Tuesday to succeed Gov. Chris Christie.

The debate reared its head again at the start of the year, when Oregon lifted its prohibition on self-serve gas in half its counties, leaving New Jersey to stand alone with a full-time ban.

For that to change, the state Legislature would need to vote on ending the ban and the governor would need to sign it into law.

A few Garden State lawmakers have proposed doing so over the years to no avail. Most politicians have steered clear, noting how popular full-service stations are here.

"It's never going to happen," Christie said on his radio show in 2012. "People in New Jersey love the idea that they've got somebody to pump their gas. I don't see that changing."
