Don, I think Oregon also has a law against pumping your own gas. Gary can tell us when he cruises by.

You are correct Jn. Oregon does have a law against pumping your own gas. Freaked me out the first time that an attendant came rushing out telling me I couldn't pump my gas. Of course my locking gas cap messed up his mind since he couldn't get my gas cap off.

I could really get into going back to the "good ole days" where "service stations" rather than "gas stations" checked your oil, checked your tire pressure, filled up you gas, cleaned your windshield, vacuumed out your car and gave you a glass or steak knife for filling up at their station. No self service was available nor was it needed. Gasoline was 19.9 to 23.9 cents per gallon in Texas with that level of service in 1965.
