Oregon lawmakers last week gave final approval to a bill that ends the state's ban on self-service gas pumps, a prohibition that has been in place since 1951.
I’m actually pretty bummed about the change. It’s a luxury (and one of the things that makes Oregon special) to be able to wait in a heated or air conditioned car while someone else pump my gas. I also don’t understand why some people are so gung ho to pump their own.
As an Aussie who has always pumped their own gas, I’d LOVE to be able to rock up and have someone just do it for me. Why is this the case in your state, out of curiosity?
