bluenoric's point is very valid - they're probably giving the collectibles away when people fill up.

petrol/gas station industry


Explanation:
From the context I am pretty sure they mean the gadgets that can be collected/won at filling stations.
Kate's answer is certainly correct but I don't think it fits this specific context (and btw, I personally would have used "distribuzione carburanti" instead of "petrolifero" in the OT)
