ABSTRACT:
A service station for the sale and dispensing of fuel into customers' vehicles and a method of optionally delivering a transaction accounting thereof to the customer, wherein the receipt station is located separately from the fuel dispensers. Costs to manufacture and maintain a plurality of fuel dispensers are reduced by migrating this function to a single station. Upon fueling, an indicia is associated with each transaction, and this indicia is input at the receipt station to retrieve the associated transaction data. In the preferred embodiment, the indicia is sensed automatically by the receipt station via a transponder mounted on the customer's vehicle or carried by the customer.
