Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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.

Omg, tell me about it. Moved to NJ and everyone is clueless when they leave the state and have to pump… Ok not everyone, but the number is above zero. 👍
