Here in the Northwest, the state of Oregon mandates that only an employee
can fill gasoline into a vehicle in gas stations.

   I often have them want to get the gas nozzle into my water tank
filler....luckily it locks with that funky little plastic key thingie...

   And my 84's tank, when over-filled, smells a bit and tends to slosh the
fuel out....so I must be quite diligent when getting Oregon gas....to keep
the pump-jockeys from topping it up like they always want to do....

  $3.28 per gallon yesterday for 89 octane.  "Merry X-mas, you
motorists..."  Where is my Priius or my Smart Car?
