You can pump your own gas in Oregon, just join a membership cardlock

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.

That's pretty cheap. I live in New York and gasoline up here is $2.30
or so per gallon. Considering those prices that amount of people that
driver hummers is pretty astounding, too.
