They're already getting complicated enough already. I'd like to see unattended pumps that you can use 24 hours a day. Around here it's hard to get gas after 10:00 at night unless you drive 25 or 30 miles. You could of course only pay by credit card. The pump would let you pump your gas up to the point your car was full or your credit limit if you're really maxed out. Trouble is, with all the morons in the world, unsupervised gas pumps will probably never be allowed. -Dan Bateman
