"Fill'er up!" in Michigan: The Pump Guide

Vacation travel alone by car gets anxiety-producing as the gas tank approaches empty -- even more so if you have an ambulatory disability and can't use self-serve pumps. Tom Greenwood of the Detroit News understands that and keeps his readers informed of a solution in Michigan that ought to be replicated elsewhere.

Thanks to the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America, disabled drivers can plan their vacation route to include gas stations where they can have fuel pumped for them at self-serve prices. The MPVA provides this information because there's no technology to aid the disabled with the inconvenience of self-serve gasoline.
