SALEM, Ore. (AP) - A House committee has narrowly passed a bill that would give Oregonians the option of pumping their own gasoline.
The Friday vote was 4-3 in the House Transportation Committee. Under the bill, HB2749, stations would still have to provide service for customers aged 55 and older and for those with disabilities.

Oregon and New Jersey are the only states that do not allow self-service.

The Oregon Legislature last considered such a measure 14 years ago according to the office of Rep. Randy Miller, R-West Linn, the bill's sponsor.

A spokesman for Gov. Ted Kulongoski said the governor does not favor the bill because it would cost jobs.

Cost jobs? Jeez... I would rather pump my own gas than be served by some jackass who doesn't care about spilling gas all over the fvcking place and can't find the goddamn gas cap after he's managed to shoot a dollar's worth of gas down the side of my car. :|

Sorry, I'm a little bitter.

Why don't they allow self service?

 

[NewSc2]

I've never used full service before - always self served myself.

Those oregonians need to striaghten out their school finances before they worry about self serve versus full service.

Gas prices will go down. You won't be paying some idiot's wages.

I don't care.

I want mandatory full service gas throughout all of Oregon.

No, but we do still pay state taxes out of our paychecks. I get a paycheck for $850 and get about $630 from it (includes taking money out for health insurance, etc).

And I want everyone in the U.S. to be legal citizens, but that's never going to happen. Sometimes we can't all have what we want, Ross.

Damn you, don't you ever have any good news Nik?

We have 8.25% sales tax which they want to increase to 10%, we've got city and state taxes. They just raised our property taxes. They are raising public transporation fares but decreasing routes, cutting back on police/fire/education. And we have to pump our own gas unless you want to pay a premium...

[Paulson]

I guess I could never imagine having somebody pump my gas for me...

I always round to the nearest dollar or 50 cent range... i'm weird I guess.

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Lazy Oregon ppl...do you guys have people who stuff food in your mouth too when you go out and eat?

 

[BigSmooth]

If it makes gas prices go down, I'm all for it. Our gas prices are high and I have no problem pumping my own gas.

 

[RossMAN]

Ok I must be the only lazy Oregonian ... sad
