Julie, your video really opened my eyes! Thank you for showing the effort refueling takes, and it would be multiple times harder in snow. How fantastic that your video caught the eye of engineering students at York University.... I can't wait to see what they develop. Kudos to you Julie for all you do!
I guess we are spoiled here in Manitoba - all of the Co-op gas stations (and there are a lot of them in Winnipeg and in most small towns as well) have both Self-Serve and Full-service pumps with an Attendant. Neither my wife nor I are in a chair, but a number of our friends are. Interesting point you brought up about the width of the curbing around the pumps and the height of the pumps- I’m going to check that this weekend.
I've recently started learning how to basically be an adult wheelchair user since I've been using one on and off since I was a toddler. I didn't need skills like filling up gas and cooking for myself when I was a child. So I've been teaching myself those maneuvers. Where did you get that transfer plate that's attached to your driver's seat? What's it called? I've never seen that before, and it would be so helpful to me.
Thanks for sharing this - this video really underscores the point you've made many times that managing energy use is critical. BTW - are there any old-school full serve gas stations around?
well if you lived In NJ getting gas is no problem since you can't pump your own gas it's done for. matter a fact you can'r do your own gas it's elligal in NJ
That's cool for people that live there. It's very different in my area of the world. There are very few full serve gas stations left in my province. So, it's left to the vehicle owner to do it.
I don't take my whole wallet, I put my debt or credit card in my bra just in case someone walks up on me most people are not willing to reach into your bra to rob you

Thanks for sharing. I just broke my back and now in a wheelchair. Trying to adjust my new life.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm here as you adjust. It's not easy - thinking of you.

N.J .,your gas is pumped for you.
All pumps should have a phone number on them if you need help
