Larry,
There are several major retail fuel companies that have buy-by-phone apps -
among them ExxonMobil, Chevron and Shell. Search the app store on your
phone, using their names. 'Eliminates having to insert "plastic" at pumps.
I use ExxonMobil (as an "alumnus" of XOM's exploration/drilling/production
businesses). 'Still have to use care, as you acknowledged, in handling pump
nozzle...

I know what?s in place in WV extremely well, and have first hand access to
the people who wrote the same in Ohio.
If challenged, you need to establish three things - first, that you are
transiting the state, and that you MUST return to your home in Wisconsin,
and that you are taking all precautions.
You may get some dolt fixated on ?RV Parks are Closed?. You got this.
I can?t speak to Illinois, but most fuel locations will remain open. WV and
Ohio are encouraging truck stops to stay open.
Here?s the response from:

I don?t need to remind you that we are in the age group where you don?t want
this thing?..
Travel safe.

I bought a box of throw away gloves - 100 to the box - at Advance for something less than 20 bucks, plus my 10 off. I put a pair on, open the hood and gas fill, check fluids, close the hood, take my previously removed from the wallet plastic and set it in the slot, then punch in my freebie number and all the other info, select the grade and fill it. Then replace the nozzle, remove and toss the gloves, add two drops of sanitizer to a palm, wipe hands and credit card, and head out.
Like a memorized checklist, each step in turn and I don't forget any. So far, it works. A lot of folks around here are not staying home, and the count is rising.
