Looks like Kotek is not going to veto this bill, so as of August 4th half of the pumps will go to self serve. I can not wait. I get so tired of waiting in line as the attendant goes at a snails pace. As we travel out of state we never wait in lines like we do in Oregon. https://ktvz.com/news/government-po...bill-meaning-it-should-take-effect-in-a-week/
Waiting on attendants does get old, but the thing that pisses me off even more is when they don't screw my gas cap on all the way or close my fuel door so it latches.. I've lived out of state and don't mind pumping my own gas.
I would think so. Most of the ones I have seen in Eastern Oregon where you can pump your own gas are 24 Hr.
You will still be able to have someone pump it for you. Plus the general public in 48 states can figure it out, hopefully those in Oregon can too.
My little small town gas station never has lines if you know what time of day to fill up and the guy who fills my tank is a local guy who was homeless for years in town here and finally pulled it together to sober up and get a job...I'm glad he's pumping my gas. I've pumped plenty of gas in my days.
Same at the OC Fred Meyer. Once going through a station like that you wonder why they aren't all that way. So much more efficient...
As close as she was to the car, even if she had the engine off, that guy could have restarted the car easily if it had a push button start (and the fob was on her/in her purse). One of the downsides to "progress". And I assume she was smart enough to have the engine off while refueling........
They do, but she was standing (almost touching) the car. Again, I'm assuming she shut off the engine while refueling, so I'm just making an educated guess. Makes me wanna go out and test mine now to see how far away one has to be before it starts....
But even then, he wouldn't drive very far... The car would die a block or so away. In fact, mine would start beeping and making a bunch of noise as soon as the door closed.
I pump my own at Costcos in California all the time. Occasionally people are idiots, but mostly everything goes fine STOMP
It would be nice but I hope it doesn’t impact jobs too much. It’s nice for the reasons mentioned already. The attendants at the gas station I frequent are homies and I hope it doesn’t impact them!
Just saw this article and it states that the stations in rural areas will still have business hours and you won't be able to pump gas after hours like you can in non rural areas. So looks like nope they won't be 24 hr stations. https://katu.com/news/local/self-serve-pumps-at-oregon-gas-stations-set-to-go-into-effect-on-friday#
