I never have to talk to a non speaking English clerk or young punk behind the counter again. Just wave the wand, gas and go. It is so cool.

I like it too. Anywhere where I can pay at the pump is just fine by me.

Too bad you have to use it at the places owned by the monopolizing bastage of Mobil. Otherwise, I'd use it too.

Exxon too, so I guess it is a dualopoly?

I am annoyed when the receipt printer craps out in the winter and they pretty much give up on fixing it. "See clerk for receipt." Mullarkey! That is not why I wanted to pay at the pump!

We're not even allowed to pump our own gas here! Can you have the wand come from your debit account or does it have to be credit??

Ours is a debit card. What do you mean you aren't allowed to pump your own gas? Who does? I wouldn't mind someone else pumping gas for me.

I got the one that mounts in your rear windshield, I don't even have to wave the wand (although I have been known to  ), just drive up to the pump!

What kind of backwards state do I live in? I've never even heard of this.

You can buy snacks inside with it, too.
Um, I mean I've heard that you can buy snacks inside.

So let me get this straight. You have a speed pass--is it like what they have on the turnpike(we call it express pass on this side of PA)? Except you can use it at the gas station? If that's what you are talking about then that is soooo cool!
Edited to say-- how lazy am I? Like using the debit is a ton of work?
Excuse me, while I go kick myself...

Yeah! You just stick it in your window. I think you can get it from their website.
I just looked and I don't see anywhere to get the car tag, but I did see that you can use the speedpass in McDonalds in Chicago and there is now a Timex-Speedpass enabled watch.
