Previously, gas stations used the rubber nozzle cover to help meet air quality standards. Today, however, the vapor-capturing fuel pumps are redundant because over 70 percent of cars on the road are already equipped with on-board systems that capture similar pollutants—not to mention, they're costly for gasoline station owners. According to the EPA, 31,000 gas stations will be affected, saving them around $3,000 each once the ruling falls into place. The White House hopes the move will help consumers and businesses save almost $6 billion over the next five years.

Gas Pump Damage: A customer at a gas station on Griffin Avenue reportedly tried to drive away with the nozzle still attached at 12:35 p.m. The nozzle then detached but the driver drove off after being confronted by an employee to pay for damages. The responding officer advised the employee on how to handle this civil issue.

These are sick. Very, very funny in the context used, though. Perhaps I'll just refer people here when they ask, "So why are you buying a Tesla?"
The guys from TheSmokingTire.com caught this nice fire on tape...
Even the camera doesn't look like it's at a safe distance to me. "Fire and gas station" in the same sentence means I move away quickly.
