My pragmatic reply to this thread is that at least nobody will have to go to work with stinky gas-smelling hands as what used to be what happened to me before we moved to Oregon.  |

I am at a loss to understand all these mysterious 'gas-smelly' hands. I think it must be psychological. I'm in Tempe, Arizona and just got gas. Just smelled my hands...NOTHING. The handle doesn't get drenched in gas so the only way I can see this happening is if you dump it all over your hands with the pump.
Whatever...I'm done with this thread.

Only in Oregon would a debate about something like this become so heated...

I need to apologize. I came in at the end of this thread and I didn't realize it was a serious one.

And it really shouldn't be that serious!

Eliminating full service gas and talk of adding a sales tax are 2 areas that get naturally laid back Oregonians worked up in a frenzy!! |

Gas smelly hands? Never had that condition in pumping my own. However, if real, it could conceivably cut down the swine flu transmission I suppose.

It keeps old druggies working and paying taxes.

Maybe the folks who pump their own gas and regularly come away with gas-smelly hands are the same ones who catch vile diseases from public toilet seats.
