This is nothing more than revenue enhancement for the state DOR...a US passport is more comprehensive and is all you need.

Max DeYoung

No, I have a passport. There is no need to pay extra for a Real ID if you have a passport.

yeah because you could die from corona

k san

Absolutely! Coming from states where you do pump your own, it is definitely faster. At places like Fred Meyer that serve many people, attendants don’t always get to the people who got there 1st. Arg!

Mike Aronow

Yes, but, I wish they all had those clips that allowed you to start fueling and then hang out in your car until the tank was full. Some still do, but, I feel like they're increasingly rare.

sharder8

Nothing like waiting for the employee to finally get to refueling your car and then waiting again for the employee to hang up the hose. Having said that, I do use full service when in medically need.

Gina Ricketts

Because I can get in and out quick and don't have to wait in line for gas station employees who are the slowest individuals in the free universe lol!

Doug Paris

Because I'm not lazy and I am not incompetent-it is faster and in tune with the vast majority of the other 49 states-can't believe Oregon is still living in the dark ages-MG what is wrong with you pep

Keith Uht

48. New Jersey is like Oregon.

Ka San

Yes, absolutely!!! I've only lived in Bend for 3 years, and I find it slow and inconvenient. Even in bad weather, I'd rather not wait for an attendant.

Len Parsons

And the price for self service needs to be less than full service

Diane Springstead Cole

Growing up in Ohio I've pumped gas for years. I never minded it.

Susan Keith

It is better for the environment as the nozzle does not remain in the tank with fumes escaping until the attendant is able to return to your vehicle.

GT Thomas

You do not have to but it should be your choice.

Steven Huillet

Gas prices would be cheaper for one thing and service would be much faster!

Adam Hollman

Let station owners decide how to serve their customers and then consumers can choose where to buy. I prefer to just take care of it myself rather than wait until the attendant gets around to me.

55%

No, don't want to.

I'd rather not deal with the pump. Plus I don't want to take a job away from someone who could have been an attendant.

I don't want to take jobs away from anyone. That is why I won't use the self serve in Walmart either.

Patricia Morris

Came from a state where you had to pump my own gas and it is not easy to do in your 80’s

Nik Myles

This is a job killer bill

champagne dog

Why would I want to pump gas. I love full service gas stations and often tip the attendants. Self service gas pumps equals loss of jobs and inconvenience for customers. Please Oregon, stay unique.

Karen Schwecke Bates

i just had back surgery - definitely not pumping my own gas. Plus, we travel in between Washington and California - I love the fact that we can come back to Oregon and not have to get out of the car

Christena

It creates jobs, it's convenient. I don't really care either way but it's nice.

Danni

I'm old, disabled, and way too stupid to figure out how it works. Do you think women all dressed up for a date want to arrive smelling of gasoline?

Leslie Ann

I've poor health and greatly appreciate those who work hard and pump my gas. They need jobs too.

Rod Blower

We have voted on this many times, and it has always been bnb 9ted down

Toni Ayers

Why is everyone in such a hurry? Waste too much time on social media perhaps?

Linda Starr Williams

NO NO AND HELL NO!!!!

Kathryn Kinney Evans

Just not a good idea all around.

Linda Nolin

I have never had so much trouble getting gas as when I went on a trip to Az. last year. Can't use cash and couldn't get the gas to start because every pump is different. Had to get help several times.

Robert Northrup

The excuse that pumping gas is dangerous is ridiculous. Millions of people pump gas everyday without injury to themselves, others or their vehicle. It is worth it to me to pay for the service.

Gary Hatherill

I don't mind, either way. But didn't I hear the law says the price has to stay the same?

Erica Crossan

Because I don't want to smell like gas or get out in the weather. I also don't want to go inside if I pay with cash

Judy Fisher

Self-pumping gas in Oregon would eliminate those jobs for people who currently do this service.

Nancy Cook

I think safety and security are both issues. A hired attendant is a safer option, especially for women in a car alone.

Leota Evans

Because I like having my gas pumped.. I've never pumped my gas in Oregon... native Oregonian.. More jobs for Oregon... We don't need people being in a hurry pumping there own gas...slow down

Loni Jewell

The amount of jobs that would be lost seems would be a blow to a part of the community that already struggles to afford the cost of living in our area. Job elimination for convenience, no way!

Anthony Dehart

It's just a start to be 100% self service and at full price

Ann Harbert Evensen

At my age, I just would rather not have to pump my own.

Bob Majka

It sucks having to pump your own gas in inclement weather. Let someone get paid to do it!

Karen Rickard Smith

why put someone out of a job!!!

Latterdaysaint

It kills jobs, pluse who want to pump there own gas in the winter

We need to stay informed about the local news that impacts our lives inBend and CO. Need to stay up to date on sheriff and police issues, parking, housing and what the city councils and county commissions are doing

David Komar

but it doesn't need to be a print version. online is just as good.

Latterdaysaint

Yes we need to stay informed but not by a liberal newspaper

Douglas Kaufman

I imagine your idea of a “great” newspaper, would be Pravda or some MAGA run rag, right? (All the Conservative obfuscation, all of the time!) Why you think the Bulletin is a “Liberal” publication, I just don’t get. Now, “The Source”, THAT’S definitely a Liberal rag. (And they’re very good at it!)

I have always loved JUST getting the Sunday paper with the Parade magazine and the extras; however, I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago. I have NEVER had a need or a desire for a DAILY paper.

At the cost to whom?
