Or stop buying gas in the Hood. I buy most of my fuel at Sam's. The one I usually go to has the newest gas pumps in town. Even has an LCD to show advertisements for stuff I don't need to buy in the store!
Seriously, I remember the good old days were gas was 20 cents a gallon and some dude came out, pumped the gas, checked the oil, cleaned the windsheild and gave us a glass just for stopping by. Those days left in 1973. There are a few full-service stations around here, for the elderly, handicapped and lazy. But I would rather spend that extra 10-15 cents a gallon on something else. Like beer.
As for boxer engines(from another thread) Ferrarri used them in F1 for years. NASCAR is stuck in 1965, so they don't count and IRL/CART are too busy fighting each other to actually innovate anything.

Easy, shove the filler cap under the pump handle.
