Looks far too complicated for an old fart like me. Download an App? enter a code? Scan something? Far quicker to enter my card code. :y :y :y

Whether this becomes the norm of refuelling or not will come down to one thing, I suspect - whether the fuel vendor makes more money in

a - the selling of this technology to tech-conscious punters with a thirst for speed and alleged ease of use
vs
b - the money they make using the current system where people 'just' buy their fags, chocy bar, nappies, magazine etc as they pay for their fuel


or.. when option 'c' appears - ie: this 'contactless/app/thingy refuelling system' plus a BP/Shell/Tesco-driven app offering you a spot of online shopping while you wait for the fuel to go in your vehicle.


Getting that prediction down in black and white now, so I can claim original copyright when the ants take over, and only the brightest humans are allowed to live.  :y

People do this in Liverpool,  but there's no scanning involved.

AIUI noone has ever been blown to smithereens by a mobile phone on a forecourt. Nylon clothes, pumps with sprug handles, and getting in and out while its running however... Kaboom!

Indeed... Real reason for the "ban" is 2 fold... Distraction and because it can interfere with the pump displays  ;)

A great many filling station towers (the price sign) contain mobile masts ;)

Plus, of course, most attendants are on their mobiles anyway :-X ::)
