Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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

    If you have not experienced the lines for gas at an Oregon Costco, you’ve really missed out. End of an era.

      People in Oregon really don’t believe me when I say I never waited in line for gas when I lived in other states.
