Few years ago I was traveling to Portland to visit a friend and stopped for fuel in my Corvette. Blonde female pump jockey pumped my fuel. I told her don't top it off or it will cover the side of the car. She then proceeded to replace the gas cap and wrenched it down so tight that it broke the cap resulting in the car throwing a check engine light which required a new gas cap to resolve the emission issue the broken gas cap caused.
I prefer to pump my own fuel. I believe I read that the change in Oregon pumping policy for gasoline is only effective from 6PM to 6AM. During the day an attendent still has to pump your fuel. Plus they don't do windows or check the oil.
I've had fuel pumped for me in Oregon since 1979 and never once has an attendant tightened my fuel cap with a wrench. Some things are unbelievable. I doubt that fuel stations even have wrenches to tighten gas caps.
