It's handier than the TV remote, easier to use than the telephone, and it's free. With Speedpass customers drive up to the gas pump, fill up and leave without ever having to pull out their cash or credit cards. For seniors who run daily errands, spend time traveling, or shuttle grandchildren to after-school activities, Speedpass makes life just a little bit easier. Over 2.2 million consumers nationwide are already using Speedpass to purchase gasoline with a transponder attached to their key chain or car window.
Similar technology is used to reduce waiting time at highway tollbooths.
Motorists enrolled in the Mobil Speedpass program use a miniature electronic transponder to automatically transmit unique, secure ID numbers. There is no cost to consumers for the Speedpass transponder and no service charge for using the new technology to fill up. Drivers must enroll through any of several easy methods to acquire a free Speedpass transponder tag.
