much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Just tried the "2nd button from the top" on both right and left at Wesco (Michigan) - didn't work.
id take the ads over the 20 questions it asks you before you can even select the fuel grade. and the button barely works so i have to press it 20 times
I'm hoping this will never be the practice in Germany! We're using these gas pumps with LC Displays from the 80's so there can't be apps with ads on a screen. Also known as "German Digitization". (A buzz word for modern technology /sarc)
Please don't tell it to European oil concerns to update their gas pumps. Shhhhh 🤫I want to have it without ads 'til I'm to old to use a gas pump.
Opt out entirely. Get an electric car. Your gas pump is your garage and you start every day with a full tank.
If only I had 80 grand lying around for a tesla...
Tesla is a shit EV. There are other options. I've seen more and more Rivian's in my area lately.
Use a screwdriver. Those speakers are driven from somewhere. There's some way to do maintenance.
This has been a thing in the States for about 15 years, it's not new. If it's just now becoming a thing where you live, understand that things like Gas TV, or ads for products or fuel additives were around since the late 2000s and early 2010s
If theres snow on the ground you should take a handful of it and stuff it in the speaker hole. Works great. Or take some hand sanitizer and squirt it in there.
Damn, paying 4$ for a gallon, here in Europe the gallon is more than 7$.
