People in Jersey would be happy, they wouldn't have to tip the attendants.FYI Jersey had a law that you were not allowed to pump your own gas, attendants had to do it for you. LOLOLOL

I would worry about this thing dripping gas on the paint of my car. Although I guess it would be nice in the winter if it actually worked, but would you still have to get out of your car to pay? I'm guessing that the installation costs would reflect the price of gasoline at the station?

Great idea but I see a few things...When it does not put the cap on tight enough and a CEL light comes on, you can hold it or the station liable. What if is malfunctions and hits the paint? What about in the cold, will it work fine then?I realize I am thinking to the extreme here but I do think it is a great idea!
