Supposedly to aid in keeping rural (and isolated) gas stations in business - by lowering their costs.

I hate having to get gas while I am in Oregon. I am usually able to avoid having to have someone else pump my gas by going to commercial sites I have access to - those are true self serve. But still a pain as those sites are not as common as they used to be (at least near Portland).

I just don't like other people doing anything to my cars.
Yeah -I know it's silly... But I just don't like it.... Especially when I am driving either the Mustang or the old BMW's that have gas fill configurations that are not seen too much these days... Not to mention having the attendant not 'fill it up' when I ask him to.
