Worst gas station EVER!!!!!!!! I have now driven in to full service area twice and not had anyone come out to pump gas. I have a knee injury so getting in and out is painful and our laws allow for full service. They consider it optional here. The first time I called and reluctantly a gas attendant came out and said he would start the gas but I would have to finish it. I hadn't been back in months to what is my neighborhood gas station but I went back tonight and saw the same gas attendant inside at 8:21 pm on 7/29/25 and he walked in front of the sliding doors several times and this time no one picked up the phone. I drove away without gas and will NEVER RETURN.
In Oregon, the law allowing self-service gas at retail stations, specifically House Bill 2426, was signed into law in August 2023. This bill lifted a long-standing ban on self-service fueling, which had been in place since 1951. The new law allows, but does not require, gas stations to offer self-service pumps, with the stipulation that they cannot have more self-service pumps than full-service pumps at any given station. The price for self-service and full-service must also be the same.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Historical Context:
Oregon had banned self-service gas since 1951, citing safety concerns.
HB 2426:
This bill allows gas stations to offer self-service, but it is not mandatory.
Key Provisions:
Full-service requirement: Gas stations must have at least as many full-service pumps as self-service pumps.
Oregon gas law does not require full-service pump attendants, but it does require that gas stations in the 16 most populated counties offer at least one attendant gas station employee in those communities be available at all times to pump gas. Multnomah county being one of the largest counties in the state - they are required to provide full service. In the other 20 counties, self-service is allowed at all pumps, but stations must still have someone available to assist if needed.
This station is not in compliance with the law as outlined as they refuse to pump gas during operational hours.
Price parity: Self-service and full-service prices must be the same.
State Fire Marshal oversight: The Oregon State Fire Marshal has the authority to enforce the law and ensure compliance. read more
