Why do so many gas stations remove those little latches that allow you to pump gas without squeezing the handle the whole time? Some gas stations in rural areas still have them in place but you hardly ever see them on city gas pumps. I have asked dozens of people about this and the reasons ranged explosive danger to weird gas stealing schemes. Does anyone know the real scoop? This has been bothering me for a while.
I always assumed they just broke off at some point.
