Aloha Everyone,
There are two states where consumers cannot pump their own gasoline. This is because in 1949, congress passed a statute titled the Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act, which prohibited gas retail customers from pumping their own gas.
To date, New Jersey is the only state that maintains this law and requires a professional to pump your car’s gasoline.On our previous crisscrossing of Oregon, we were introduced to this outdated law. I recall it was cold, with rain and snow, J.J. didn’t mind a gasoline attendant walked over to put gas in Honu.
During our recent travels through Oregon, a gas station has both attended and self-pumps. You simply inform the attendant your preference.
Aloha -- Cathi
