some older gas stations dont even have colored nozels (they're all black) let alone different sizes.and ive seen someone put diesel in there car too

also i was at a gas station in southern mississippi and one of the hoses had a leak so the owner just took a shop rag and some hose clamps and fixed it up nice an purty

the girl runing into the wall is

Oh man, if this girl lives near Philly, I think I met her last week.

I'm at a Lucas Oil filling up my mom's Subaru, and there is a little blonde girl on the opposite pump, just standing there, staring at the pump with her card in hand. After I've put 7 or so gallons in my car, and she is still just standing there, I ask her if she needs any help.

She explains her dilemma: The sign on the pump says prepay or slide credit card first, however, there has already been gas pumped, which she thinks hasn't been paid for, and she doesn't want to be charged for it. (You know how if you pump and pay, the numbers stay visible until the next person slides their card and starts pumping) Well apparently she had never realized this before, so I tried to explain it to her...but to no avail.

She nods, smiles, and then as I walk away, she gets in her SUV, and does a 30pt turn and moves to the pump on the other side, which surprise surprise has the "exact same problem". I gave up and left, and I'm guessing she did the same.

Einstein and company on one end

These morons on the other.



I know a guy filled up his motorcycle with diesel. Dumbass. The girl that did it probably tried for 2 minutes to put the fatter hose in her tank, then held it in there - very carefully, so as not to spill - while she pumped.

i still cant believe they still have full service gas stations. i wnat to have people pump my gas for me. as for the colors ive never even paid attenion to that shit i just look for the 93 above the nozzle and thats the one i grab

And i though people that just didnt know whow to fill up their car were stupid...

OMG...two f***ing funny storys.....just freakin' funny..

There's a full service station about 5 miles from school on the indian reservation. They do exist, they're just tough to find. And yes that's all you'll find in New Jersey. I've had to teach several of my friends how to pump gas.

[sidewayzS13]

so in NJ i take it that gas always ends up costing you more because you should tip?

[sv650s]

some people just need to sit in a corner in a straight jacket so they don't do some stupid shit.....and adults think us teenagers suck at driving

no, it is possible to put a diesel pump in a petrol car, my dad did it. then decided to ignore my advice to empty the tank, clean it and re-fill it with petrol. instead he floored it back to the apartment (about 110) with what petrol was in the fuel system. so there, it is possible.

what im still baffled about is that they still have full service gas stations. i havent seen one of those since i was about 6. had no clue those still existed.
i wonder if she was chaged for all of the gas that spilled out

in the UK it's all self-service. i've never once seen a filling station where somone else operates the pumps.

also the pump colours are as follows (if i remember correctly)

blue - cheap stuff - 93 octane
red - intermediate - 95 octane
green - ultra/best - 98/100 octane

black - diesel - unsure of cetane rating

im pretty sure the rest of europe follows that too.

color of handles is irrevelant.
diesel nozzles in the US are bigger than gas nozzles.
and no you don't tip in jersey for gas. its their damn job why should I tip them?

Yep. But it's funny that here in SC we pump our own damn gas but in NJ somebody does it for you, and yet the price of gas in both states remains consistently similar.

Well goddamn...there's why gas is more expensive accross the pond. Your cheap stuff is our good stuff (lowest over here is 87 octane, highest is 93 if you're lucky)
