Gas trucks fill your vehicle where it is parked

Some California drivers no longer go to the gas station and it’s not because they drive electric cars.
Gasoline increasingly is being delivered into the fuel tanks of cars while their owners work or as they spend time at home.
It’s a trend in Silicon Valley, where technology companies offer fuss-free fill-ups to employees as a perk. They include PayPal, UPS, Facebook, Cisco, IBM and FedEx.
There are also “pop up” gas stations. Motorists can stay in their cars as attendants top off their tanks with refueling trucks.
