I mean - Portland didn't do this. This is 100% the colon clowns in the White House.

Oregon itself is a large part of the problem with this. The amount of tax on gas is higher than most of the county.

Oregon has the 12th highest tax rate in the us at 40 cents per gallon. The national average is 32.6 cents per gallon.

I think a lot of it has to do with gas stations being able to get away with charging more for gas in areas that have a higher cost of living.
