RE: Fumble Fingered Gas Attendants in Oregon
I spend a lot of time in Oregon and have never let the attendant remove the
gas cap.  Since it needs the ignition key to remove the cap and that key is
in my hand they have no choice but to wait for me to remove the cap.  And I
usually hold onto the cap/key until the filling is done and then replace it.
BTW, there is at least one place in Oregon that is Self Serve, you pump your
own gas. Really.  At the Wild Horse Casino outside Pendleton.  On the
reservation so they are exempt (or ignore) Oregon law.  May be true at other
gas stations located on a reservation in Oregon also but the only one I've
used is the Wild Horse.
