For the first time in more than seven decades, drivers in Oregon are allowed to pump their own gas.

    Gas pumps are pretty standardized, I’ve traveled all over the country and not once have I looked at a gas pump and been like “how the fuck do I use this?”, that sounds like a personal problem.

      It’s the payment part that’s confusing. Because each pump does it differently. It’s not the dispensing gas part.

        Either you put the card in the slot or tap it on the reader. I’ve never seen any pump do it differently. And they all have prompts on the screen that walk you through it if you’re confused.

        If you really can’t handle it, you can go in and ask for 10 gallons on pump 3 or whatever.

      A hess gas station I was at a few years ago put regular in the middle instead of on the left. Started pumping before I noticed. Also, as I totally believe you about driving all over the country, you should know that octane levels vary a bit in places like Wyoming.
