Quote from: Brian556 on April 21, 2019, 10:48:16 PMMaybe they are building the station piece by piece as time goes on & traffic builds, Im guessing that from the pile of gravel that is to the right of the station, or the area is so safe people wont tamper with the pumps so it can be a standalone station with no attendants or store. I assume it saves the company Valero money, but repairs & errors probably take a little longer & are harder to notice or take care of unless called directly.

Stations like that are somewhat common in low population states like Nevada. I actually recall getting gas at a similar Sinclair station when it was -14F below on NV 487 back in 2013 when I headed to the Lehman Caves of Great Basin National Park:

Probably a fleet-only gas station; they accept a few forms of payment by special types of credit cards, and that's all they're for.

The painted wording on the roadsign posts read "Gasoline Pumps Open" and "All Major Credit Cards", so that doesn't seem to indicate a fleet only gas station.

They're on concrete (as are all dispensers). It's just gravel around the concrete (not uncommon in rural areas).

MFA Oil has some similar fuel stops but I think these are the exception rather than the rule.
Most of them have some kind of structure depending on the level of service. Some of them sell bulk fuel. Some of them have a convenience store.
This one doesn't even have a canopy:

I like the general idea as reduced labor costs would mean that more of these gas stations will be available, particularly in rural areas. Increased competition and fewer places with gasoline deserts where you may run out of gas.
But I worry about the issue of unmanned stations. While rare, fires can occur and it would be nice if there was somebody there who could operate a shutoff switch. If this issue can be addressed without an employee, then I'm all for it.
I don't consider lack of cash a problem. The gasoline complanies could create as you go debit cards, similar to what they used to have at university copy machines, buy a card for 25 cents and then refill it with cash in special machines to pay for your copies. Of course, the vast majority of people have regular credit and debit cards or pay by phone anyways.

He looked coked out in the commercials for the movie. His eyes basically were bugging out. Apparently most of his best stories were written when he was either drunk or high.

Been wondering for years, its the movie where all the machines are alive & try to kill people. I haven't seen this movie in years.
If a weird asteroid passes by, the trucks with a mind of their own are going to be very disappointed circling that station.

Maximum Overdrive. It's a horror comedy that was written and directed by Stephen King. It's supposed to be over the top campy and succeeds in the best way.
It was a stand alone story, it would be difficult to do a direct sequel IMO.
King also admitted to being rather "coked out" while making the film.
He looked coked out in the commercials for the movie. His eyes basically were bugging out. Apparently most of his best stories were written when he was either drunk or high.

Stations like that are somewhat common in low population states like Nevada.
This.
I do remember Nevada specifically, as my parents tried desperately on a family vacation to find a gas station they could actually pay cash at: all the ones we kept finding had no attendant on duty, and we were running low on gas.
Dont end the story there! Did you guys find a gas station or did you have Triple A
We found a gas station. Very anticlimactic.
