New Rules For Gas Pumps

For John, BLUF:  And, that gas is cold in the winter, making the pump handle cold.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the Good News:

Gas pump clips now legal, but may take months to appear

For those of you who have never been outside our Commonwealth, in most of the US when you are pumping gas into your car you can push down a little lever to allow the gas to flow into your tank hands free, until the automatic shutoff valve ends the flow.

This article in last Tuesday's edition of The Boston Globe, by Reporter Jack Newsham, will have me looking for the first gas station to implement this new (new here) improvement.

And, this is a lot safer than someone stuffing something into the handle, because that item may not let the automatic shutoff feature work.  Think gas gushing out of your tank, onto the pad by the gas pump.
