Self-Service Gas in Oregon Will Come To An End On Sunday

The Office of the State Fire Marshal announced Thursday that it’s temporary rule change allowing Oregon gas retailers to provide self-service on a voluntary basis will end at midnight, on Saturday, May 23, 2020. Starting Sunday, May 24, attendants will again be providing service at gas stations in Oregon where self-service is not allowed. Self-service is allowed in some coastal counties and in eastern and central Oregon. Initially, a temporary rules change was implemented to address worker shortages at stations statewide because of COVID-19. “We want to thank Oregonians and the many Oregon businesses who provide gasoline for their patience as we allowed for voluntary self-service at Oregon gas stations where that service had not been available before,” said State Fire Marshal Jim Walker. “Starting Sunday, self-serve gas will no longer be allowed in counties where it is already prohibited by state law. Areas of the state where self-serve was allowed, in some coastal counties and areas of central and eastern Oregon, will see no change.”
