I don't know...that's a good question.  If there is, I'd expect them to do
more than just pump my gas.  At least clean the windshield.  That's one
thing that bugged me about Oregon -- they really didn't want you to get
out of the car, but normally gas stations are where I get the bugs off my
windshield, and the attendants weren't always interested in cleaning it.
