You can pay at the pump with your bank card in many petrol stations too. There's been a bit of controversy over that, because the pump "pre-approves" (i.e. sequesters) a maximum amount after it has checked your inserted card but before you draw the fuel, typically £100, which is more than most people would need to fill up. There are stories of unsavoury practices whereby the excess over what you actually spent is not returned to your card for days, weeks even.
