It is the problem of the gas stations, not the consumer. If there is so much gasoline theft, have the customers pay upfront (this is common practice in Belgium), and if you don’t want to implement that, just shut up?
BTW, if you drive an EV, you don’t have this issue, so perhaps a good moment to switch.
In the US, it’s been prepay or pay at the pump since around 2007. The only fuel theft cases you hear about now involve scamming the pump or actually stealing the fuel directly from the the stations in-ground tank and bypassing the pump all together
