I can see a lot of flaws with this system. I'm boycotting pumps that require my zip code, so any station that does this I will be boycotting as well.

One situation that is a problem:
You buy a used car... so no license plate.... you can't fuel it up before going home?
Dealer temp plates wouldn't work for this as well?
If this system was made, I suspect license plates would be stolen by those who don't have insurance, or maybe even print their own licence plates that is copying someone else's numbers since it is an automated system, it couldn't tell the difference too easly.

Next thing they will want to do is track your milage and tax you more for better MPGs since you pay less road tax than others, and double slam people with trucks or older cars.
