the 'reason' is that people top off their tanks and spill gas in to the pristine waterways of Oregon, or don't turn their gas caps through the 'click' to ensure that the vapor recovery system is working.




It's really just a make-work program that has the added benefit of making driving in Oregon suck a little more.
Nothing like sitting in line to get your gas pumped for 20m, only to wait 10 more for the dipshit to come over and hang up the nozzle.
Ok

I get the spilling part for sure

Not much wait where I live tho

I prefer to pump my gas...cut out the middle man



Agree to agree I guess

It's only in Eastern OR (very rural) counties, and it's optional. It also doesn't apply to gas stations with a garage or convenience store.
It's actually always been the law that they can do it from 6PM - 6AM, this just makes it a 24 hr deal.

dumbest thing in a state chock full of dumb things.
Gotta ask
What are the other dumb things?

Holy shit. This would drive me insane.

It's going to be high comedy watching adults who have lived in Oregon their whole lives pump gas for the first time.

We have a place near us where the workers still pump for you. It's awesome, you pay a little extra but it's definitely worth it for the convenience.

Yeah bitch, what's your job? You've dedicated your online presence to being a cunt. I'd be surprised if your life is worthy of attention.
Cmon Walt. The online toughguy act is running thin at this point. We both know you will do fookin nothing.

no

I think it was some sort of job thing back in the day...mostly convict looking dudes and "i can't work for myself type of people" IMO

good folks but they just seem to want' to hang around fumes and pump gas for min wage I guess.


Might affect our price of fuel...I dunno
If i recall correctly, the gas was a couple cents higher at the full service station when it was still around here. I mostly went to Speedway, but on occasion i would pay more to sit in my car while someone else did it. I wish they would make a comeback.
