Planning a trip that will take me across Oregon. Looks like I can't pump my own gas, don't care for that.

They will let you pump your own on the bike.
They will hand you the nozzle.

They will let you pump your own gas. Tell them you want to do it and they'll hand you the pump nozzle. Never had any problems with asking that.

That changed, but I wanted a reference, so... From Claude:

Oregon was one of only two states where drivers weren't allowed to pump their own gas for decades, but that changed in 2023 when the Legislature passed new laws allowing self-serve fueling. [Oregon](https://www.oregon.gov/osfm/pages/se...e-fueling.aspx)

Here's how it works now:

In 20 rural counties, you can pump your own gas at any station, any time of day. In 16 other (more urban) counties, stations may offer self-serve at up to half their pumps — but the other half must still have attendants. [Oregon](https://www.oregon.gov/osfm/pages/se...e-fueling.aspx)

A few other things to know: gas stations are not required to offer self-service — each station can choose whether to offer it or stick with full-service only. [KGM](https://www.kgw.com/article/news/ver...e-f5fcf26dcabd) And stations are prohibited from charging different prices for self-serve vs. attended service. [KGM](https://www.kgw.com/article/news/ver...e-f5fcf26dcabd)

New Jersey is now the only state that still prohibits self-serve gas. [Wpma](https://www.wpma.com/oregon/promotin...portant-issues)

Same BS in Jerzey, the person will hand you the nozzle if you ask (or look at them funny).

In Oregon, I’ve never met a fuel attendant that wanted to fill my bike. They have always handed it to me. Also, there are pump your own stations now. Big issue now, is availability and cost.

We rode across Oregon a couple of years ago. I don't remember having any issues with gas. We like riding crooked roads. We got tired of riding crooked roads. It was a blast and beautiful country. I would come out of a curve and try to rest my hands before the next curve. It was all day.
