New Jersey To Become Only State Where Self-Service Gas Is Illegal

  • New Jersey and Oregon were the only states that didn't allow customers to pump their own gas.
  • Oregon recently passed a bill to end its 72-year self-service gas prohibition.
  • New Jersey will now be the only state with a ban on self-service gas.
  • Full-service gas stations were common in the past but became less popular in the 70s and 80s.
  • The ban in New Jersey was originally driven by safety concerns and rising consumer costs.
