More efficient, because of staffing issues.

GT Thomas

Stations cannot get help and I prefer to pump my owm. I am tired of liberals telling everyone how to live.

Kevin Nik Myles Hayward

I already do. Self serve is legal in rural areas. Madras has self serve. Most gas stations along I84 east of The Dalles has self serve. Apparently it's the city folk that aren't trusted to pump their own gas because folks who live in rural areas have been permitted to pump their own gas for years.

Steven Huillet

It's about time Oregon joined the rest of the US allowing people to pump their own gas and diesel!

Why would you want to pump your own gas plus it provides jobs

Jane CommunityMember

Diesel has always been legal. Gasoline users have been discriminated against.

Marcus Ainsworth

why would you not? oh you live in that one state

Kenneth Suel

I'm from the rest of the country. I cannot always contain my annoyance. I never asked, wanted or needed a pit crew. I'm from. Alaska. I got it covered.

Lee Edlund

Good compromise. Pump your own or have an attendant

Jane CommunityMember

Absolutely. I already do in Jefferson and Crook Counties. Time is money and the quicker I can get back on the road, the better.

I appreciate the service, especially not having to stand outside in the cold.

Where do I wash the gas off my hands? Oregon has always voted this down. 61% of Oregonians do not support this. Gas stations will make more money with one employee . Gas in Washington is a lot higher than ours and you pump your own. Why are the legislators deciding for us?

Kim Marie

Why take away more jobs? If you don't have a few minutes to spare waiting for an attendant, maybe you should organize your time better.

Wow, you should change your name to Karen. Not everyone wants to waste their time waiting for attendants. Some of us have better things to do with our time.

GT Thomas

They have repeatedly said they cannot get help. And if you want to stay in your car you can but quit imposing your beliefs on everyone.

Bob Majka

Why would I get out to pump my own gas when the full service will be the same price? this is asinine, in all other states self-service is cheaper.

Kat Johnson

I really enjoy the ease of not having to pump the gas myself. Also I think it's good to provide jobs for people who can work at the gas stations.

Deb Kizer Dyck

I pumped my own gas for years, so I really appreciate being able to stay in my car especially during winter months. It provides jobs for those who might not otherwise get one. I don't mind having options, but don't think it's necessary for the decision to be made for me.

Off the path

I have and I can but with a bunch of kids it's nice to be served. I appreciate my gas attendant.

Jay Ball

Not having to pump your own has is one of the last good things oregon has goin for itself any more☝️

SunnySunshinestein

I'm perfectly capable of pumping my own gas but the bottom line, no excuses, is I just don't want to.

Latterdaysaint

No, if it's bad weather why would you want to plus it provides jobs

To allow people to protect livestock and pets. Also working with wolves in Idaho, the conservationists that was speaking on the news didn’t tell the whole truth. Do the research, in Idaho since 2000 we have had problems with them going on killing sprees and not eating what they kill. It’s not rare.

Steven Huillet

Wolves are killing machines. Destroying deer and elk populations, and now destroying ranchers livestock. They should have never been brought back to Oregon.

Look at Yellowstone. Once reintroduced the habitat recovered from over grazing. God has a plan.

Jean Bartholomew

Wolf 158 was an outlier. ATYPICAL behavior, which you noted very briefly. Usually easy known deterrence or relocation methods work!! There is no need for a killing spree of these beautiful wild animals.

Allison Boyce

Farmers need to take other action, using horse patrol, 4 x 4 patrol, more employees. You can’t just kill everything that gets in your way.

neil lahey

They’ve been re-introduced after having been absent from the ecosystem for a very long time.

Just the same usual amount. It's not much of a problem at Discovery Park, tho. Owners seem to have good control of their dogs.

Jeff Sanders

Leash kids. They're worse than dogs.
