I think we will see EMV at the gas pumps soon at the major oil companies since they appeared to have already been pretty far along in the certification process. Unless they think their beloved zip code prompt is security enough...? I think the bigger issue is skimming and cloned cards for them, though.
I don't think I've seen any Chevrons with MX915s around here. Maybe that's what the non-EMV capable MX860s (which seems to be most Chevrons here) will eventually end up with.

It probably depends on the area. I see the ZIP code prompt nearly 100% of the time where I live.
