Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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.
oh no I’m right there with you. I used to try to avoid having to stop for gas in NJ or OR at all costs until I got a car that wants 93, but we only have 91 in CA but they have 92 in OR so I just deal with it (it gets noticeably better fuel economy).
