So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.

At most gas stations, you can mute the ads by pushing the second from the top button, sometimes on the left side sometimes on the right.

I hate the ads too, but muting makes them bearable.

I’ve seen this mute mentioned, but never had it work. Is it for real? Every place has these ads now 😐 I don’t get fuel on my personal vehicle very much much but I drove a lot for work and it is awful.

Sounds like maybe newer pumps don’t work like this? At least in my area, I’ve only had this fail once.

Well I tried this later yesterday on a brand new as of August fuel station, and it worked!

Thanks for the reminder to keep trying.

Since these tricks have become common knowledge, they’re all being disabled. New pumps cannot be silenced.

If you need another reason to get an EV, you don’t get ads when you charge at home.
