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.
