    IIRC this was partly to prevent driving off without paying?

        The gas pump swells as it finishes. If you try to drive off before it shrinks again, they just follow the miles of hose back to your house. Occam’s Razor.

          Mate, what the fuck are you on about? I have no idea what you’re trying to say.

              That’s fine but I don’t understand your comment. There are words there but they’re arranged in a combination I cannot comprehend.
