In the last several years I've not seen a station without this policy. It started as "prepay after dark" and became "prepay only."
Same in Arizona, as I noticed during my last trip. Everywhere wanted you to pre-pay. Makes it very inconvenient if you want change - you have to wait in the queue twice.

I guess it minimises drive-offs, but it's not very convenient for the customer.
