I guess it makes sense considering how tiny the margins in fuel retailing are.

  It seems a bit more like wherever ads can be stuffed, they will be, because they are viewed as a consequence-free additional revenue stream. Once gas pumps had LCDs instead of eight segment displays, it was only a matter of time before someone realized "hey this thing could play ads!"

    It's more free of consequences in a very low margin business though - if they drive a couple of customers away with the ads, they were only making a few pennies from them anyway. In a higher margin business, the cost of losing customers is higher so the ad revenue would have to be very high to offset that, so you're less likely to see intrusive advertising.
