Here in the Northwest, the state of Oregon mandates that only an employee can fill gasoline into a vehicle in gas stations. I often have them want to get the gas nozzle into my water tank filler....luckily it locks with that funky little plastic key thingie... And my 84's tank, when over-filled, smells a bit and tends to slosh the fuel out....so I must be quite diligent when getting Oregon gas....to keep the pump-jockeys from topping it up like they always want to do.... $3.28 per gallon yesterday for 89 octane. "Merry X-mas, you motorists..." Where is my Priius or my Smart Car?
