That's the main benefit I'm looking for since so many stations are closed when I am headed off to work.

I’m from a state where we can pump our own gas and have lived here for under a year so apologies for my ignorance, but are we not allowed to pump our own gas if the station is closed? If we’re paying by card, couldn’t they just keep the pumps open?

Its currently illegal for them to allow that, when they go home the pumps are all off. If nobody is there you cannot do it yourself. Now many stations are open 24/7 but not along my commute until I cross the river and then I just pump in WA.
