  That’s half of all stations in the US. It’s hard to escape

    Same, so I go to the other half.

    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…

    If even people using Lemmy still go to those with ads, I can see how they win in general.

  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 going to be much worse very soon.

  There are new parents superimpose ads on existing video streams.
