I've done the 307 miles of I-5 in Oregon many a time without stop ... because who wants to stop for socialism and the deprivation of the right to pump one's own gas?

Even though OR's gas is, on average, usually cheaper than either CA's or WA's?

I've always wondered how they pull that off... someone's gotta be paying for the full service.

Because it's not full service.  They are just pumping the gas.  It's rare that they clean the windshield much less check the oil.

okay, half-service then.  Anything more than a machine to read your card, and you to do all the work.  Someone has to be paying for the difference in service level.

Mr. Matté

It's probably the lower gas taxes.  Oregon's is $.434/gal, while Washington's is $.559 and California's is $.583.

It's the same situation in Jersey, we have $.329/gal while New York and Pennsylvania have significantly higher ones.

It's probably lower because of the higher percentage of toll roads, bridges, tunnels, etc. in the state!  :wow:

How many people work a standard convenience store/station at any given time in CA or WA on average?

What OR & NJ lacks in gas tax income, they probably make up in income taxes from those hired just to pump the gas!

Europe for me (excluding the Netherlands, otherwise it'd become messy). Most of this has been driven in the past 5 years by me.

cialism here is a joke. And so is the right to pump our own gas.

Yup.  Besides, much of I-5 passes through Hicksville.

To me, the worst part of no self-serve is that it take you about 3 times as long to get through the station vs. self-serve pay-at-the-pump.

If I owned a dam and decided to donate it to charity, would I be giving a dam? I'm sure that might be a first because no one really gives a dam.
