Hi Weston - 
It's against State Law.  Apparently they don't think their own citizens are
smart enough to know how to pump their own gas, i.e.: sticking the nozzle in
the correct orifice :-).  I'll never forget the first time I had to get gas
in Oregon - got outa the 67 Deluxe to unlock the gas cap and some teenager
comes runnin' outa the office yelling "don't pump the gas, it's against state
law!".  Funny as hell, as he sliiped and fell on the concrete and I'm there
wonderin' what's all this sh** about?  Felt like I was about commit a felony
the way he was acting.
