Also, I generally find it quicker to go inside to pay. Pay at the pump machines are some of the slowest technology ever created.
I actively avoid Pay-at-pump only pumps and stations. I'll get over it if a law did come into effect, but I'm not a fan.
Still, it makes a lot more sense then the Oregon law than doesn't allow you to pump your own gas.

You should look into getting a Speedpass if you go to Esso or the same type of thing if you go to Shell. It literally takes an extra 10 seconds before you fill up to pay at the pump. There is also usually an incentive to pay that way (1.5 cents off or something).
This is probably a good idea overall. It will stop gas station owners from being so paranoid. I saw a guy actually writing down every license plate that came in. A portion of the revenue they lose from in-store sales (which I don't think will be substantial) will be recovered by the fuel not being stolen.
