- jonknee 10y agoI can't wait for contactless payments at most gas stations. Seems like the perfect spot for it, you're already going to get your phone out to kill the pumping time anyway.
- ghaff 10y agoYou'll see signs about cellphone use around a lot of gas pumps. (Though, according to Mythbusters a number of years back, the issue is static electricity, not the cell phone.) It's possible laws might need to change to use a phone payment at the gas pump.

- vwcx 10y agoYou mean, you're already going to get your phone out to kill yourself while pumping anyway. Static fires are real.
- jonknee 10y agoYes and static fires don't have anything to do with cell phones. If it was a real concern they would be really strict about stopping people from using phones around gas pumps.
