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.
