Old gas pumps can't handle ever-rising prices:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200...pumps

I guess thats the place to go gas up at eh

We had a station here that had the issue with $2 gas. They had to get some replacement parts to sell gas. I think they'll probably be good for a while now.That must of been 3 or 4 years ago.

We don't have that problem (digital) at our station, but I heard that some places are trying to pass it so they don't have to show the price at the pump... just the gallons... not sure about that myself... I like to know how much I'm pumping in $ and in gallons.

There was a station by my old house that couldn't afford to replace the parts, and eventually went out of business cuz they couldn't sell gas anymore.Quote, originally posted by Kamikaze »We don't have that problem (digital) at our station, but I heard that some places are trying to pass it so they don't have to show the price at the pump... just the gallons... not sure about that myself...

There are so many people who shop around for gas and probably won't stop there if they don't know how much it is.
