Hmm I wonder if the OP knows how dangerous cell phones are. They are a excellent source of ignition for gas fumes

Just sayin .........

That's pretty cool! They have the pump programmed to keep up with prices in realtime. or it's calculating the expansion of the fuel as the temp increases... greater temps equal greater volume.

I should get the video clip of the gas station employee using his cell phone as a light source to check the tank level. He is dead now ..... burnt to a crisp.

Here in Canada cell phone usage is illegal when using a pump station to fill a vehicle with fuel. Not sure what your laws are but I know I wouldn't use a cell phone when refueling. I leave mine in the vehicle. They are one nasty ignition source.

Pffft. Everything is illegal in Canada. It's more like Europe than it is the US: nanny state overload.

Now that works for some people and obviously Canadians are happy with it, but that ain't how we do things here (yet).
