Just saw this while getting gas. Why is it illegal to get less than 4 gallons?

In the US only diesel gets its own pump, at least in my experience

Same though I do recall seeing pumps with multiple hoses for each grade a lot more frequently back in the '90s and '00s.

There are a few stations near me that have E85, "88 octane" (which is just 12% ethanol), diesel, and three grades of gasoline. Since you can't mix those other fuels with gas the pump has four hoses and you still have to select the grade of gas.
