Old School Gas Pumps Can't charge over $4

When gas pumps were put in years ago, the stations couldn't imagine the day would come where we would be paying more than $4 a gallon for gas, so the pumps were not set up for this.

In a Seattle PI article, they go into depth about how the maximum they can charge is $3.99 a gallon for gas. It would cost them thousands of dollars to upgrade the pumps or get new ones.
