In Benin, three grades of fuel are already packaged in cans and bottles. The main thing here is the qualification of the operator, who must remember exactly what is hidden under the Coca-Cola label and what is poured instead of Filipetti Bianco. The pharmacist, who once rescued Bertu Benz, did not know these difficulties: he had “just gasoline”.

Such prices have not been dreamed of for a long time. In the late 1960s, a liter of gasoline in Germany cost less than 1 Deutschmark. Moreover, if the driver refueled independently, then he received an additional discount: 2 pfennig per liter. Zealous German housewives could not resist, of course, and took the gun in their hands.

In mid-November, in Moscow, through the efforts of the Revolta and MOESK companies, the first gas station for electric vehicles was opened on the territory of the Novospassky Dvor business center. Basically, it is Mitsubishi i-MiEV, of which a dozen have been sold so far. There are two sockets in the column: for normal charging (lasts 8-10 hours) and for high-speed. According to experts, the energy equivalent of a liter of gasoline will cost about three rubles during the day and two at night. The only pity is the price of the car itself - almost two million.

For three years now, Tankpitstop has been operating in the Netherlands for three years. First, the hatch opens with the help of a suction cup, then the two-fingered “hand” unscrews the cork, selects the desired gun, refills the fuel, tightens the cork and closes the lid. How, however, does the robot distinguish which one to clutch at? It's simple: first, the owner needs to get an RFID tag and stick it on the inner surface of the hatch.

A wholesale buyer refuel to take gas to the outback. At the same time, he does not want to spend a drop on delivery: oats, apparently, are cheaper.

In Brazil, organizing a gas station with compressed gas is easy. You don’t even need to dig the earth, it’s enough to fit a semitrailer full of cylinders and connect them to a small terminal. Even the operator’s salary can be saved: the terminal accepts plastic cards quite independently.
