The new law took effect Friday after Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek signed a bill allowing drivers to dispense fuel themselves.

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

    Fraud is a legitimate concern though. Skimmers are rampant, so I wonder if Oregon will see an uptick in card compromise.

      That is a very good concern to have but even when the station’s had attendants, people still got skimmed at gas stations. It’s a concern that everyone should have at any place where you swipe or insert your card to pay. Banks, stores, ATM’s, etc

      so you take your hand, place it on the card reader and give it a shake. If the card reader is loose and can pull off its a skimmer.
