I guess they only do fill-ups, since I don't see a meter for the quantity delivered nor the total sale price.

This is really neat, but I'm not sure what the advantage is over a standard upright pump. Does a single overhead allow accessing both sides of a vehicle? I can see that as an advantage.

Are those the three signs quoting prices, 18.28, 22.99, 17.05, or are they showing the sale? one for each pump, it seems there are three overhead pumps numbered 1, 2 and 3.

How do they stop fuel from dripping after filling up, over patrons & representing a fire hazard on the ground?
