Let's not get too hasty, we're just finally to the point where Oregon
expects people to know how to drive before driving.
yeah, but Oregon still doesn't trust me to pump my own gas. Of course,
with some of the crap I see around here, that's probably a good thing.

You can pump your own gas in Oregon, just join a membership cardlock
station. You sign a waiver making it technically a form of employment with
no hours. Self service prices in Oregon are comparable to what they are in
Washington, and about 30 cents a gallon more than minimum service. Why
make such a big deal about doing the gas station's job for them when it
just costs more?

Please don't start talking about gas prices. It makes me think about
how much we get ripped off at the pumps. Current price is 1.40 Euro per
liter. Do the math: 1.3 Euro = 1 Dollar. 3.8 liter = 1 US Gallon.

It's not much better anywhere in Europe. That's why most people drive
small cars.
