Oregon Repeals Self Service Gas Prohibition
Only in Oregon was marijuana legal before pumping your own gas was—but now both are on the right side of the law after Oregon repealed its 72-year-old statewide prohibition on self-service gas, which went into effect August 4. Now, only New Jersey bans self-service retail gasoline.
Of course, some conditions apply, such as: half of all pumps must remain full-service. Stations that offer self-service must still offer full-service on half their pumps. The state had loosened some restrictions in low-population rural counties in 2015 ands loosened them more for rural areas due to a series of wildfires and heatwaves. The new law simplifies prior rules, legalizing self-serve everywhere with retaining some rural allowances.
