COVID 19 : Most COVID 19 spread is through respiratory droplets. Touching surfaces less so. Consider wearing a face covering and using disposable gloves when you need to get involved in activities where contamination is a concern. Try to maintain social distancing from other gas-station patrons. Considering using a credit card at the pump vice going into a building to hand over money to someone.
