Some greedy gas stations blast ads while you're pumping gas: your money for gas isn't enough, they want to steal your attention as well.
While I'm just annoyed as you are by the ads blasting while I'm refueling, I want to highlight that gas stations don't typically significantly profit from selling gas; their profit might be as little as a few cents per gallon. Instead, the primary source of revenue and profits for them is usually the attached convenience store or other services.
Here's a few sources (unverified, but here for convenience):
