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…

TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoIs that a thing? Why don’t you just not ever use that brand of station again?

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.

That’s half of all stations in the US. It’s hard to escape
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Same, so I go to the other half.

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
