(that's cool... my environmental science teacher spent a minute on how volatile organic compounds (VOC's), such as gasoline fumes, are really bad for the environment, and most people don't operate the pump in the exact proper way to not release said fumes.... but gas station attendants are taught how, and that's why it's the law in oregon....

probably not the original reason it was a law in NJ in the 40's, sure...)
