Yes, the pumps that automatically stop at a pre-set amount of money are newer. They aren't very common, but in some more rural areas of the US, I have come across the old style pumps that do not stop automatically and the attendant is just reading the value off of the pump to settle up. You can pay with a card at most of these places these days, but it is still paying a preset amount and then a sale and/or refund afterwards.
