  • Self-Service Gas Likely to Remain a Pipe Dream for Impatient Oregonians

    "Self-Service Gas Likely to Remain a Pipe Dream for Impatient Oregonians
    The Oregon Fire Marshal says the agency needs $543,376 for the 2021-23
    budget to regulate consumer pumping."

    I'll bet we could fund this quickly with a GoFundMe campaign. I'd
    throw in a few dollars. I don't know what was happening at the first
    station we pulled into today. It took the attendant a long time to even
    show up and then he was doing a lot of button pushing on a pump behind
    us. After listening to the buttons being pushed too long we drove down
    the street to the next station. Even in the best of times I can get in
    and out faster if I pump it myself.

    "Regulate consumer pumping"? How do you do that? I think it's because
    they think PNW liberals aren't smart enough to pump their own gas. That
    and the powers that be want to keep the citizens dependent on government
    for as long as they can.

    Then fire them all and append the budget.
