Oregon will prohibit gas stations from charging more for full-service fuel.

Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be self-service. The bill, responding to industry staffing shortages, also prohibits charging more for full-service than self-service, likely leading to the phasing out of full-service pumps.

    Didn’t they already allow self service in rural areas or was this somewhere else? I feel like I saw videos of people pumping gas in weird ways.

      Yes, but only for the last couple of years. Most Oregonians have never pumped gas.
