Low prices won’t be the only reason for you to smile at the gas pump in early 2015. Per MacRumors, Chevron announced on its Twitter account this week that it’s “working alongside Apple to develop solutions to integrate with Apple Pay at the pump by early 2015.” This means that iPhone users could soon use their favorite devices to pay for their gas as well as other assorted goods.

MacRumors notes that both Chevron and Texaco already accept Apple Pay in their gas stations’ convenience stores but that neither of them yet let you use Apple Pay to get gas at the pump. That said, if Chevron is close to getting Apple Pay to work at the pump, we can’t imagine Texaco is too far behind, and giving Apple Pay the power to perform this critical task could go even further toward making it a regular part of iPhone users’ everyday lives.
