Seems like there's a simple solution to this problem: make the big oil companies pay to fix the pumps using their obscenely high profits. These small-town station owners shouldn't have to cough up thousands of dollars to upgrade their pumps just to pad Big Oil's pockets even further.

A reminder of the Carter Administration in the late 70s. It looks like we have, "Daja Vu all over again."
