Could Oregon become the 49th state to trust its citizens to pump their own gas?

There are already many exceptions to the rule. Rural areas can let people fully pump their own gas and places like Pacific Pride, which is unattended, can as well. In urban areas, people can't take the handle off the pump, but can pump the gas if you insist. This is almost always done for motorcyclist and people with high end cars that don't want the attendant to possible spill gas on the paint.

The part of state law that banned self-service used to begin with "In that Oregon has uniquely bad weather ...". Not a good approach for a state that depends to much on tourist dollars.
