Just imagine if you had to pay an additional charge every time you went to pump gas, while maintaining the illusion that gas is still 2.50 a gallon. (omg I know, I'll be the cheapest gas station in town, we'll just charge a 1.00 fee for every gallon of gas and call it something clever!)

I know, I'm tempted to start a gas station selling gas at $2.99 a gallon, but charge a $1/gal "Pumping Machine Maintenance Fee." They are, after all, paying for the "convenience" of not having to pump their gas out by hand.
