Regular gas at Towne Pump in Newport is $3.19 today. That is several cents less than last week, so maybe there is hope for summer travel to the Oregon Gathering!

Exit 228 from I-5 Arco is 2.97 and Cosco in Albany was 2.93 for those coming from the north to the gathering.

Most of the Arco's in the Portland area are running $2.97-2.99 a gallon and the best part...we DON'T pump our own gas in Oregon

Gas at Costco in Albany was $2.83 on June 27th. Towne Pump in Newport is $3.13.

It was somewhat of a culture shock the 1st time I encountered it.

Amazing concept, eh? You stay dry and clean, and someone else gets stinky and wet...

and you pay less..

whats wrong with this picture?

And if you get caught attempting to pump your own gas, both the gas station and you are fined. I believe the fine is around $500.

Let the nice attendent pump it for you.

It just keeps getting better...Arco at I-5 and Hwy. 34 (Exit 228) $2.79 today...Newport $3.05.

Last week in Va $2.63.9 Last year on my way to the Oregon Gathering and my first day in Oregon I got out and had a couple of gallons in my truck before the young attendant came out and told me I can't pump my own gas, I thought he was kidding and told him I had pumped gas long before he wore 3 cornered underwear he chuckled and said no!!!! its against the law. I couldn't believe it, something about keeping folks employed or sumpin, anyway I went back and sat in the truck while he washed my windshield, cool
