Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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.

… 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.

Honestly these days it’s trivial to look up how to do something. I get that not everyone is technically inclined, but it’s just as easy to look the next car over and watch what they are doing.

I have more trouble figuring out why the pump won’t read my card than putting the gas in my car.
