Danville officials ponder a 'pay before you pump' ordinance

DANVILLE – Jasmine Lohr always pays for her gas before she pumps.

"I think it's smarter, because then you won't go over the amount of money you have," said Lohr as she put gas in her vehicle at the BP Station at the corner of Gilbert and North streets in Danville.

Officials with the city plan to talk with local gas station owners to determine if there is interest in an ordinance that would require all gas stations in the city to have pay-first pumps.
