[QUOTE="witzend, post: 503656, member: 99"] LOL! We don't call it "full service" because it's the only kind of service we get! I went to WA a few weeks ago and filled my tank at Costco where it's super cheap. I couldn't figure out how to make the pump stay on until it was full, and this lady behind me saw my OR plates and came and showed me the little clip. The OR lawmakers keep trying to tell us how cheap our gas would be if we'd just pump it ourselves, but we are NEVER going to fall for that. They have three guys pumping gas at minimum wage, I figure that's $900 a week the station owner is going to save. How the heck is he going to pass that "great savings" on to me? Baloney! It costs me $70 to fill my tank and I see them put $900 into cars just as I'm sitting there. Those guys pay for themselves. There's no way we're standing out in the rain and cold to pump our own gas if the law says we don't have to. Janet, I did not know that about my utilities. I should probably look into that in any case. I don't know if they have anything like that here. Fran, we'd definitely have to put up a fence. Not that it's that big a deal if it's our own place. If we're leasing or renting though, it may be a problem. [/QUOTE]
