    I remember the power in the eastern half of my state being knocked out because of an ice storm. I remember that a lot of gas stations were closed, because the pumps run on electricity.

      Yes and no. The pumps are just pumps.

      If you didn’t have to meter it and tie that to a credit card, you could pump the gas with a hand pump.
