I'm not really arguing about it, I'm getting spoiled with it, but I have
tried to help with the MG and get hassled for it every time. I can't
even complain about the gas prices, a full tank in the Suburban in TX is
typically, $48 or so, in OR it's about $54, (that's a 43 gallon tank).
The biggest hassle is that the pay at the pump pumps turn off
automatically at $50, so I sometimes don't get a full tank...
I also subscribe to the theory that it does provide high school kids

I disagree with the high school jobs theory, a lot of the folks pumping
gas are high school students, but I'd say at least 50% are way above
high school age. I agree about the price, gas in Vancouver WA is self
service and is just a few cents cheaper, than in Portland.
