Sorry, but this is incorrect. As I posted earlier in this thread, the ban on self-serve gas in Oregon has no bearing on method of payment. There are plenty of stations in Oregon that require you to input your zip code at the pump. (Or, tell your zip code to the pump jockey who inputs it for you.) And, if you're paying with cash in Oregon, most stations require you to leave your comfy car and pay inside.

If she gave you a $20 and there was some question as to whether change was needed, she was either in the practice of filling her tank when it was less than half empty, or you must be really old!
(Actually, I can remember filling my first car, a Chevy Sprint, for under $10...so I guess that makes me old, too!)
