Hah! I live in Oregon. I've pumped gas once in my life, when I was 14 (that was decades ago). And I spilled a bit of gas at the end. I'm glad I ran across this article! 🥴

It's not that hard. I used to make my ex do it because he was a lazy ass and did as little as possible around the house. When I finally divorced him, he commented that I would have to pump my own now. I told him I would be happy to, it really requires no skill at all.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be fine. (Haven't had to do it yet.) I'm just one of those people that likes to have all the instructions in order before doing something. I was nervous at 14, but that was because my older sister was making me do it for her car.

Got it! There's some variation among stations, but I've found that most of the instructions are right on the pump itself. I find paying with a card is easiest. Use the trigger prop. The nozzle will shut itself off, so no overflow. Shake off the last drip like a guy, return nozzle, get your receipt.
