Dave Milne did pass the time by typing:

Some places in the US they are "half pricing" i.e. the pump indicates 1/2 of
what you have to pay and it's doubled when you pay. This is only legal when
the station posts the actual price and a notice on the pump. That and get
a permit from the State.

On the bright side (if you can call it that), reports are the gas/fuel pipelines
are now up to 90% capacity and one of the largest refineries is scheduled to
come back on line this Tuesday since it was not "sigificantly" damaged. Same with
about 308 production platforms in the Gulf.
One link. There are others if you check around there.

That should help somewhat, but it's not going to fix the long term problem.

So that's where all my old pumps went. ;-) Everything down here has
been converted to electronics long ago.

I think Gilbarco does most of the pumps here - all electronic.
