Just because you can get away with it--fueling at many small airports is 
self-serve--doesn't mean it's legal (or ethical).  You might be putting the 
supplier of the fuel at risk (esp. if an eco-Nazi spots you doing that).

Just to be clear, I have no problem with people running leaded gas in their 
cars--I burn it in airplanes--but it is a legal gray zone that could cause the 
supplier some grief.
