One of the things more difficult for an Italian in the U.S., is to make gasoline. I know it sounds stupid, but he is so `. We do for gasoline, coming off the gun, slip into the hole and do what they want. There is also a wonderful thing that not many people know, the little key of magic 5 € : If you got to do 19, xx €, and you just make 20 without going mad, hit the key 5, and it automatically stops to the nearest integer. It works a bit 'in all distributors. Once you've finished paying, in or out of the distributor, with or without paper.
There are some alternatives, namely that the man for you, or self-service where you have to first put the money or paper, because it is the distributor is closed. It does not seem very difficult, but maybe just because I'm used to. In the U.S. instead
100 distributors, 101 different ways to make gasoline.
The most simple way is to put your credit card, raise your gun, choose the amount of octane, and delivers. It put what the hell you want, because then you complain that `much everything on paper.
And if you do not want the card or pay cash? This is what happened to me months ago is going to New York:
Robs: Hi, I want to fill, but I tried to put the gun into the hole and nothing ... do not piss
Gas Station (inside a booth type in the bank): First you pay then you can get gas.
Robs: Ah ok, but I would like to fill.
Gas Station: You have to pay first, how are you doing?
Robs: the oil level.
Gas Station: What is full? What will you do?
Robs: enough gasoline to fill the tank.
Gas Station: Ok, how much?
Robs: Oh I know, if you want to take the book of machine, control the size of the tank, I estimate than there is', calculating how much I can add, multiply the price per gallon and you I say it. Otherwise I do gasoline, and we see `How much is pay.
Gas Station: You have to pay first. How much?
Robs: do not sooooo! If you want to do it one dollar at a time until full `and`!
Gas Station: You can start to make it a bit ', then if it is not enough to do it again. How much?
Robs: $ 20 thanks ...
Other variants you put your credit card, pin and then you 10 minutes to watch the dealer waiting for a sign, then you decide to go after trying to press each key. But in this case I suspect other problems.
There are distributors that after removing the gun you have to lift a lever, that if you do not know, they're `the extent to which a gentleman is to explain it to you (and I must say that the Americans are usually very helpful and kind for these things).
Then there are those with the little man that makes you full and pay later as we (I have only seen one but `...).
Another thing which I think is stupid is that there are no highways in many service areas. You have to go out and make gasoline out. This might mean do 2 / 3 km to find one. What is the point? Small country, a small space? Today, however
`me` catered happened another. Diesel here is used very little, and distributors are usually only for gasoline and diesel have it set aside. Today I stop, I put my credit good map and I notice that the floor was a lake of fuel, among other things very slippery. Okay, pull up the gun, and I put in the tank. Crikey, does not fit ... But how can we enter? It is more of the big hole? Ok, small hole big gun ... will have to push a little 'more! Then it occurs to me that a genius had the great thought to the gun to the largest diesel than for petrol ... I look at the gun: green forest. I say, no Belin, is green, it is petrol! Slide push, push a bit '... macaroni ... ` I look at the distributor, and a beautiful black pistol on the other side smiling at me ... Get up, I select (again) the octane rating and delivers my $ 15 ... `I think I understand why the ground was what havoc ...
It is true that here not the name of unleaded petrol, but if it was not for the gun I'm more a big point I was wondering `why my car did not move, or had exploded ...
