Hoses at Gas Pumps
Why are gasoline hose on pumps so short now? Remember the good old days when you could park on either side of the pump to fill your car? Now you see a line of cars waiting on one side, while the other side of the pumps is empty. Stupid! Was this a safety issue, or are they just saving money on hoses?

I remember when gas fillers were centered in the rear, you'd open the license plate to fill the tank!
Of course, the explosions weren't good.
We have a station here that has signs that say "nozzles reach either side" but that only applies with subcompacts, and only then if you sidle right up next to the pump.

The 50's Cadillacs had a similar system.

And early VWs filled under the hood, with a filler wide enough that you could fill the tank from a bucket if you needed to. Oh, and when the tank was full it was full, none of this nozzle shutting off with a gallon of space left in the tank! :)
