A major grocery chain here in Houston has plastic “mitts” available at gas pumps. I’ve never seen that before. I’ve read that gas pumps are the most contagious place you can touch.
For 3 or 4 years now, because of a family member with low immune system protection, we have used a plastic glove when pumping gas. No flu, colds, etc., so far.
I've seen little plastic mits dispensers at diesel pumps - diesel does have a little more unpleasant odor. That said, handles on fuel pumps of any type would likely be an effective fomite, like doorknobs, elevator buttons, spoons at the office coffee pot, etc. Any hard surface upon which virus or germs can linger after being handled by a contagious previous user can result in disease being passed from one individual to another. That's why grocery stores often have sanitary wipe dispensers available where shopping carts are lined up.
How effective that is in a world in which people are accustomed to just handling things is an open question. I watched a lady in a local Krogers a few days ago handle and examine about twenty tomatoes in the process of selecting a half dozen or so to put in her plastic bag. If some evil bug like Ebola does run wild in the U.S., it will be difficult if not impossible to curb these kind of ingrained habits.
