Refueling in Oregon
Oregon only legalised self-service statewide in 2023 (House Bill 2426). Many stations now let you pump your own, but attendants are still common and stations must keep some full-service pumps — so you may be waved off or offered a choice. Either way the price is the same.
Oregon HB 2426 (2023) →Latest EIA weekly figure in USD per US gallon; some states show their PADD regional average. Compare every state on the fuel-price map, or read the full guide to refueling in the USA.
