I would think it would be legal in every state, considering how far
gas-by-the-liter got in the early eighties.  I know they passed the
legislation then, as so many stations were doing it, and I doubt if they
ever took it back.

 

I think Hawaii had mandatory gas-by-the-liter for several years.

I can't say for every state but in New Jersey it is legal to sell and
dispense by the liter provided both the price per liter and price per gallon
are displayed.

Just curious here , as I've been readying a lot about how some older gas
pumps have started pricing by the half gallon instead of the gallon. Is it
actually legal in the US to sell gas by the liter? And if so, does it fall
under state or federal regulation?

All the news articles I've read so far have said that stations just have to
apply with the state regulator to sell by the half gallon.  A lot of people
in the comments sections on the  different articles seem to be in favor of
switching the price to liters nationally but so far there haven't been any
responses from industry or gas stations.
