Oregon Finally Legalizes Pumping Your Own Gas After 72 Years
thedrive.com

Oregon's Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be self-service. The bill, responding to industry staffing shortages, also prohibits charging more for full-service than self-service, likely leading to the phasing out of full-service pumps.

Smell that? That's the smell of FREEDOM.

And the smell of gas because I've never learned how to pump and it's all over the ground please send help.

... you stick it in your car, pull the lever, and wait for it to stop on it's own ... hardly needs learning.

I was doing it before I was 12 because my mother was disabled. If you can’t figure it out, you might be an idiot.

Gas is literally just sex for your car. You stick the rod in the hole and jiggle it til your $20 deposit is up.
