When I lived in Virginia, I used to get gas at either Mobile or Exxon. You could get from them a black key fob (for lack of the real name) to be placed on your key ring that could be linked to any credit card you wanted. When you got gas, you pressed the key fob to a certain place on the pump. You didn't have to get your credit card out. It was quick and easy and seemed safer to me.
I really loved it at the time of the DC sniper shootings when everyone was checking out the people at the other pumps! You didn't have to go inside to pay! And, getting gas was quick and easy.
I could never figure out why more gas companies didn't offer this key fob. I know it probably cost them more money, but somethings are worth the cost.
