I didn't know people use gloves for getting gas. Is it against diseases or against the cancer in the fuel?

it's hygiene. hundreds of people put their hands on that thing every single day. those hands could've been anywhere.

It’s to create more plastic waste that ends up in the landfill. Gotta find new and exciting uses for the petroleum industry since everyone’s moving to electric cars.

I assume it's to keep the smell off you

Have they (gas stations) always done this or is it new?

How would someone get gas on their hands while filling?

A couple drops on your car or pants I could see if you're impatient, but on your hands? It only takes a moment of waiting to let those last few drops settle down.

If they gave em at mine I would, I use homemade hand sanitiser in a aloe bottle I have in the car.
