Everything I've read about the man tells me he is personally frugal and low maintenance- it surprises me little that he doesn't have a driver
Why? It's not as if he has anything he needs to do while being chauffeured around, so a driver would be not only an unnecessary expense, it would be a bother. It's a lot simpler to just get into the car and drive rather than have someone else do the driving for you.
Even I don't pump my own gas.
I thought you lived in New York, not New Jersey. Unless you live in the Garden State or have a disability that makes it difficult to get in and out of your car, there is absolutely no reason to not pump your own gas.
By "surprises me little" I meant it does not surprise me...
