Oregon lawmakers vote to allow self-serve gas statewide, ending decades-long ban

I think this is my favorite part. I don't think I've ever seen a fuel pump that accepts coins.

This bill approved Wednesday would also eliminate from state law language referring to coin-operated fuel pumps, perhaps in recognition of the fact that a $1 coin, the largest denomination in general circulation, would today buy two-tenths of a gallon of gas, and it would take more than 50 of them to fill an average tank.

Oh huh. I didn't think something like that ever existed, but it must have. Maybe rural areas?

Oh boy another thing to steal.
/s. Maybe.
