Now that House Bill 2426 has been approved by the Oregon Legislature and signed into law by Governor Tina Kotek, drivers in Oregon have a choice between service from an attendant and self-serve gas statewide. There are still some different rules for non-rural counties (of which Multnomah is one) and rural counties.
In Multnomah County (and other non-rural counties), gas stations must offer attended service, but may also offer self-serve gas at no more than half of their pumps during operating hours. If offering a self-serve option, the gas station must provide signage so customers can identify which pumps allow self-service and which pumps are attended service. Gas stations are not required to offer self-service and may choose to continue to offer attended service only. Additionally, gas stations must charge the same price for gas from self-service and attended service pumps.
