Is that a thing? Why don't you just not ever use that brand of station again?
That’s half of all stations in my neck of the US. It’s hard to escape
Same, so I go to the other half. They tend to be the smaller owner-operated ones, so if I go inside to buy something, I mention how much I appreciate the lack of ads and that that’s why I go there.
Start punching the screens.
They change quick.
If it's only half, then you have a choice.
If i have to stop unexpectedly and it's one with ads, I'm putting $5 and bouncing to another one i prefer.
considering how prevalent gas stations are, taking half away still leaves you with quite a few options
They sadly have become far more uncommon, at least in the US. I can maybe only recollect a handful of gas stations that dont have them anymore...
Oh my god, that's truly vile
If even people using Lemmy still go to those with ads, I can see how they win in general.
Thats the free market cooking at its finest now :D
It's a thing, and it's a thing at most corporate gas stations in my area. And most corporate stations have the cheapest gas prices - which I guess explains why they run ads.
Unfortunately, the one near me is the only source I know that supplies EtOH free gas (the blue handle).
What kind of weird antique car do you daily that can't handle E10 gas?
I mean, let's be honest: the vast majority of people who insist on that don't actually need it; they just think lower emissions are "woke" or some shit like that.
I use it in my smaller recreational "toys": ATV, snowblower for the ATV, motorcycle, backup generator. Those sorts of things. It's not about not handling the normal stuff. I was under the impression that the EtOH stuff was better on the engines. Not a car guy, myself.
It's going to be much worse very soon.
There are new parents superimpose ads on existing video streams.
