would have a hard time paying $1/gal more for gas just so I can sit in my car while someone performs this beyond simple task.


Gas in Washington is more expensive but you pump it yourself. Eta...same in California.

I live in Maryland and travel to NJ all the time. Driving up there tomorrow. I will tell you it is pretty nice having someone pump your gas, especially when it is this cold.
My daughter went to University of Maryland ( no pics) and there are a lot of kids from NJ that go to school there. These kids had no idea how to pump gas or how to pay for it when they first got to College Park.

Probably has to do with the difference in gas tax.

I wonder what Oregonians do when they travel out of state and they need to fuel up?

Jim Bryant FEAR NOT OREGON!!!!

I've decided to move to Oregon to open a school to teach people how to pump their own gas. Short term business you say? HA! I will simply branch out and offer classes on such complicated things as:

3. Operating a self checkout machine.


Note to Jim Bryant you have a HUGE crowd if you move this class to Louisiana.

I disagree. Gay men are the worst:

Oregon is still beautiful countryside.

It's just places like Portland that are filled with weak people.

Lots of others are self sufficient.

Was a guy in my unit in the military that was from Oregon. We took a handful of vehicles to fuel up and when he was gone for 45 min I got sent to look for him. He was still at the pump. In his car. Waiting.

I learned that day just how odd Oregonians are.

The clerks working the machines are half the problem. The other is people with no game plan, frick those people.

This is the funniest thing to me. I need a live feed from the gas stations today. Is it sheer pandemonium? Are there lessons they can take beforehand, or are they just suppksed to wing it?

wish FB would let you start reading comments from the beginning instead of most recent. That has over 4,000 comments and I"m sure the good ones are near the back of the bus.

Days like today with these cold temps I wouldn't mind paying extra for full service.

There is one place near me that offers it but you have to have an account with them or cash they don't accept cards. But it's nice cause the guy will pump the gas and bring your account ticket to sign to your window

It's states like Oregon that make me think an invasion of the US would start on the coast of Oregon.

What is funny is people from OR would say people in the south stuck in the 50s or 60s.. But they really are stuck in that era if you think about having people pump your gas

Going to full service in LA wouldn't be the worst idea... It would employ more people
