I got gas yesterday by my house for $3.83/Gal but I had to get stinky hands.
Pretty soon our trip to pick up our 21C will be almost freeeeeeee.

I wonder if they will be using this as a soft transition over to removing it permanently. Where gas stations no longer employ gas attendants. I grew up in NJ, which I believe is the only other state that also forces gas pumping by attendants. It is kind of nice not having to get out, though their gas prices have gone way up in recent years... I'm happy enough paying less and not having to wait around down in VA

All I can say, is Oregon has cheaper fuel prices than either Washington State or California and both of those states you pump your own fuel.
What I really find funny is people that complain about grocery stores and using self checkout often live where they pump their own fuel.

I can’t even imagine waiting for someone to do such a nothing task as fueling my car, such a waste of my time.

That was my job in order to make enough gas money to get around town right after getting my license at 16!

Just a difference in areas, I can’t picture myself being so soft as to need to sit in my car.
It is good to have that for the disabled, could use that option here, but only as an option.
The harshness will definitely make someone harder, stronger. As much as I don’t care for harsh weather, I do appreciate that aspect of it.
I suppose it is good for one to be cared for as years go by,..

I suspect that applies to a whole bunch of us.

Back when I was a working person, it was nice to show up to work NOT sopping wet, if I bought fuel before going to the office. AND if I bought it AFTER work, I didn't have to get home and change my clothes. I'd rather lift weights than deal with that. Certainly don't need that harshness. YMMV
