Oregon evidently thinks that people are too stupid to pump their own gas. Or maybe they just needed to create more jobs for their high school graduates. I find it a source of amusement that the teenager working at the gas station is more qualified to pump my gas than I with my twenty years in the automobile business. So, if I convert a diesel powered vehicle to run on waste vegetable oil in Oregon and pump said oil into my tank am I breaking the law? I might have to move there so that I can become an outlaw.
