And gas is cheaper in OR. I live in Crescent City, CA. A lot of people will drive the 15 minutes to buy gas in OR and go shopping....no sales tax in OR.

Under cover but still cold and wet most of the year. I don't mind sitting in my heated car. I WOULD prefer the government stays out of it, but I pretty much feel that way about most things. I did live in CA for over 20 years and can't say I really miss pumping my own gas in the few years I did drive down there.

The funny thing is, our gas doesn't cost any more - like Pacu Mom said, we have cheaper gas than our neighbor to the south. I've always heard that it was more a matter of creating jobs than anything else, but I don't know how true that is.

The exception to the law is commercial fueling - for most of my teens and twenties I pumped my own gas as our family had a farm account.
