PORTLAND, Ore. - It is now illegal in Oregon to ask a gas station attendant to top off your tank.
The state approved the ban last year because topping off can spill excess fuel and release Benzene and other toxins into the air.
When it comes to enforcement, the state will first send warnings to gas stations that are repeat offenders and then will start issuing penalties.
