Oregon’s Senate has repealed a 72-year prohibition against self-service gas, with new legislation requiring gas stations to staff half the available pumps, while allowing the rest to be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

    In college, I always opted for AM/PM gridlock roulette over whatever was three cents more across the street with no line. By adult time, I learned when stations I wanted to use were busy and rescheduled getting gas around that.
