You asked -- "Have they changed the laws to let you guys pump your own gas yet? :)"
Still using pump jockeys here and still cheaper than across the border in Vancouver. I'm away right now, so I don't know what the current price is, but it is usually cheaper on the Oregon side of the river.
I guess it goes to show you that you can have people pumping your gas and still get cheaper gas.
Oh..., and I don't think the people in Oregon, overall, would want to change it. They would rather preserve their energy for going up the mountain.

I have been to Portland before. I didn't know about the pump laws at the time and I think the attendant almost had a heart attack when I went for the pump myself.
