There may be other states but Oregon is one where you can't pump your own
gas. The exceptions are the counties in the very sparsely populated
eastern part of the state.

I haven't been in Oregon for quite a while and don't plan any trips. Even
when the law was in effect if you were on a bike the attendant would look
the other way. There are laws then there is spilling gas on a Hells
Angel's custom painted gas tank.

As Forbes reports, Oregon now has legalized self-service gasoline
pumping state-wide.  FINALLY!!!!!  I have not heard recently
whether New Jersey might have also legalized it.

Although I had pumped my own gas in a state other than Oregon for
the first several years I could drive a car, after ~40 years of
Oregon requiring me to let the pump jockey drizzle gasoline down
the side of my vehicle, it still felt a little (but only a
little) odd to be pumping my own gas again.

IIUC, my wife chooses to let the station employee do the deed.
