gas station scams

[bocephus300]

i noticed at a few gas stations they took out the spring on the auto pump thing. usually it holds itself up and you need to push it down so it holds the trigger. i keep putting in more gas than i want to, it gets stuck on. has anyone else noticed this?

if your pre-paying it should auto shut off....awhile back i pre-paid clicked it to go and fiddled around in back of truck and put xtra 5 bucks in but i just drove off like i didnt know

I think its a safety issue thing. Seems like someone even told me that they are supposed to not have them on in Florida at all, but every now and then I still see them on some. Not sure exactly.

All the new stations have them here but non of the older ones do. I just wedge my gas cap in the handle and it hold the trigger so I dont have to for 28 gallons.

How do you get more gas then you want to?  The pump should shut-off automatically when your full otherwise there is something wrong with the pump.  If you report it to the attendant and they don't close the pump then there is a number to call the state and report them on every pump.

there are springs on the handles and they break

they also took away the ash trays next to the pumps so now i just put my cigar out on the ground next to the pump.
