Went to a 76 Station today. The store had EMV enabled (using Gilbarco registers).

Pumps were still swipe only but are brand new pumps.

Contactless was NOT enabled and I am not sure if they ever had it enabled at this particular location. I have yet to see a 76 in California with Contactless enabled, yet a couple in Nevada I've been to that recently got Gilbarco registers have Contactless enabled (no EMV though).

I have heard 95% of the credit card fraud for the entire 76/66/Conoco network nationwide comes from about three counties in California. That may explain why there is no Contactless at the California locations...
