My experience with the gas filling in the region was:

- pull up to station in Oregon unaware, exit the vehicle and approach the pump. An attendant runs up to me yelling "You can't do that!! That's DANGEROUS!!"

- pull up to station in Washington, sit there. Didn't realize I was in Washington and nobody was coming to pump my gas.

- not knowing whether I am supposed to tip the attendants in Oregon. Different people told me varying things.

- feeling relieved to be in Washington and being able to simply pump my own gas without talking to anyone

Some Oregonians told me they enjoyed not having to get out of their car and thought the system was great. Also many had never pumped gas in their entire lives and weren't comfortable doing it when in other states. If this system existed in very cold places I've lived like Northern Minnesota I would have been quite happy about it - I don't mind a little wind and rain, but getting out to pump gas when it's -20 with a 30 degree wind chill is not comfortable.
