Oregon is one of only two states in the US that bans self-service gasoline. New Jersey is the other. In most places in Oregon, except for some very rural areas, an attendant must pump your gas for you. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds, a number of service stations in Oregon have had to close either because their attendants are sick or are afraid to report to work for fear of the person-to-person and hand-to-hand contact required with each service transaction. In certain places where there are no attendants, customers can’t get gas.

On Saturday, March 28th, Oregon’s State Fire Marshal suspended the state’s ban on self-service fueling, an order that will be in place through at least April 11. Customers are cautioned that there won’t be any assurance that fueling equipment will be sanitized after each use.
