Tech people: if you want other people to pump your gas so badly, move to New Jersey

Life is better in New Jersey, where pumping your own gas is illegal and you relax in your car while you visit the gas station.

Booster, a startup that just raised $20 million to pump your gas for you, at first sounds like it's trying to bring the Garden State/Oregon life of gas station leisure to the rest of the country—but it isn't exactly that. The startup sends gas trucks to office parking lots, college campuses, suburbs, and anywhere else with a high-density population of parked cars to fill up your tank for you while you're inside. All you have to do is download the Booster app, schedule a fill-up, and make sure to leave your gas tank open.

"[Booster is] reinventing the concept and habit of getting gas for the 21st century,” CEO Frank Mycroft told TechCrunch.

The startup's $20 million Series B round was led by Conversion Capital with participation from existing investors Maveron, Madrona Venture Group, and RRE Ventures. The $20 million added to $12 million Booster had already raised.

The startup told TechCrunch it has deals with Cisco, Oracle, and Facebook to fill gas tanks for their employees—aka permission to bring its trucks to their parking lots, since those companies aren't actually paying Booster anything.

If Silicon Valley wants other people to pump their gas so badly, they should relocate to New Jersey.
