Hi Weston - It's against State Law. Apparently they don't think their own citizens are smart enough to know how to pump their own gas, i.e.: sticking the nozzle in the correct orifice :-). I'll never forget the first time I had to get gas in Oregon - got outa the 67 Deluxe to unlock the gas cap and some teenager comes runnin' outa the office yelling "don't pump the gas, it's against state law!". Funny as hell, as he sliiped and fell on the concrete and I'm there wonderin' what's all this sh** about? Felt like I was about commit a felony the way he was acting.
