Crikey! I put swipe the card it asks for my zip code, approves my credit, I push gas type, insert nozzle. Let fill cut off short it matters not. Return nozzle to station receipt prints and I,m done. Good thing you voted to leave that backward state!
You know we have pay at pump too right?

Yes barely a month goes by without some attempt to take the card out of my view. Most may well be genuine, some however are not.
Just watch very closely what some of the smaller garages do with your card. Ask yourself why some of them have the card machine behind the counter, rather than sat out the front where you can just put the card in, then remove it.
Ask yourself why some of these places need you to give them your card and THEY put it into a machine. Why can't I do it? What's the problem?
Added to that is the number of times in smaller garages the payment apparently 'fails' and they have to do it again. This simply doesn't happen in bigger garages, so what's the issue in the smaller ones? Sure, you get a 'transaction cancelled' slip but what's that all about? Have they all got rubbish internet connections, or are these people 'harvesting' something? Is there a hidden camera somewhere that tries to 'capture' the card information? I don't know, but something is not right.
My credit card has had scam attempts multiple times now. Three times in the past year alone. Each time they get spotted by the provider (Capital One), and each time it's within days of one of these 'suspicious incidents' in petrol stations. It's inconvenient because each time it means a new card having to be issued, updating multiple payees with new card details, etc etc.
It's got me close to only using the supermarkets now, it is becoming such a problem. I'm fed up with it.
They're targeting you. Keep your cards in a lead lined wallet so they can't do you over. Be vigilant. Never drive the same route home - they're always watching.Just watch very closely what some of the smaller garages do with your card.
