This was a common problem before the rules on rural stations loosened up. Driving through Oregon during the night could be pretty risky - there were very few 24/7 stations.
- Arrath 3y agoBack in the day membership to a card-lock station chain (Pacific Pride, CFN) was the best option, it was an end-run around the law since membership supposedly ensured you were 'competent' to safely pump your own gas, and the stations were 24/7 since they were unstaffed. No attendants to wait on, no lines, no stressing about having to park up next to a gas station and wait for it to open in the morning.
