buying gasoline

I filled up today, and noticed something amazing at the gas pump.I was on the phone, not paying too much attention to what I was doing at the pump. I took the gas snozzle and plugged it into my car before putting my credit card in. The numbers on the digital screen went to all zeros, and of course would not dispense any gas until I had swiped my card. But look at the digits!Apparently, these pumps are capable of dispensing and charging for gas purchases in excess of $1,000.00.

All the way home, I thought of what we may see in the coming years.Scary, huh? It's a great time to be a bicycle salesman!
