Alright, I was just thinking of what people could do to improve todays car just by little trinkets here and there. We have TV's, we have laptops. We have maps (gps things), we have reclining back seats, we have everything us lazy people desire.. But how about gas filling, we still need to drag out our wallets any way we go to pay gas. Either going into the store, or putting it in the little card thing... Well, I think it'd be cool to remake the gas nozzle that attatches to the pump, and ring it with some magnet device, and have a reciever in our gas tank. So when your filling it, it charges your bank account through the same radio waves that the GPS systems go through... However, all things that change take a long, long time so this would not be realistic, I just think it'd be something to conveinience our lives further. Anyone else think it is a remotely good idea?

You aren't allowed to fill your own gas tank.

Thus people do it for you.

Go Europe "mobile" phone on it and pay with your cell phone. That'd be neat.

"speed pass" is an exxon thing that you put on your keychain that you wave infront of the pump and it automatically charges your account....wait no more lazy people the technology is here today. I mean I know its a strain to actually have to push and pull that heavy piece of plastic from the reader....the strain is just to hard eh? :p

Most places don't care, but then again, chances are I'll one day happen upon some jerk who will call the ponine and have me hauled off for doing what is legal and acceptable in 48 other states.

Damned unions.
