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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

No, don't want to.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

RFK Jr. is dangerous and is dismantling health research funding and spreading false info about vaccines. The Alliance of Westcoast Governors was formed to ensure public access to credible info re: vaccine safety and efficacy. Anyone who thinks that's bad is obviously a MAGA idiot!

The people who voted "Yes" for this obviously do NOT know the law. It is unlawful for T to send national guard troops into ANY state uninvited! He is just trying to intimidate and terrorize blue states, when red states have much higher rates! He is the felon/criminal who needs to be behind bars!
