Wow.........

Oregon and (I think) New Jersey. The only reason to keep the law is to prevent the loss of jobs if stations were allowed to go self-service. I think it's hilarious.

Mark, how do you teach your kids to pump gas? Or do you just tell them never to get gas outside of Oregon?

One of my neighbors works across the Columbia in Vancouver, WA. He makes sure he stops on the Oregon side of the river to get gas. Of course, he doesn't buy anything on the Washington side to save the sales tax, too.

Actually, there is a situation here in Oregon in which you pump your own gas. It's at those commercial card-lock stations. That's the only place, however.

BTW - every time someone tries to get the law changed, they get smacked upside the head by all the Fire Marshals in the state.
