    “Do not use phone while refueling”

    Right under a QR code 😂🤣

          Former VZW rep here. Not only is it plausible, it’s a weekly occurrence.

          My favorite was the guy who didn’t want to switch to an unlimited calling plan because that plan didn’t have free nights and weekends and friends and family calling.

          Now I’m not sure if that will sound as stupid as it really was. Does anyone even remember getting billed for phone calls?

            Since I don’t have more than 10 friends or family that I call, it was more cost effective not to go unlimited.

    In my country, most station also come with a keypad just beside this screen, which you can set the exact amount you wanna pump

    I stop at the litre. They don’t give rewards points for partial litres so fuck ‘em, I only want $19.47 in gas.

    In Canada you have to prepay and set the maximum amount of fuel you want, so this is “every time I dont set the max to more than my tank can hold” for me.

      What happens if you overpay and can’t fill up the full amount?

            The few times I’ve prepaid cash in the US, you go to the attendant booth/inside the convenience store and they’ll give you change.

        Our gas pumps dont charge until the pump is stopped. The prepay is a ping on your account that basically reserves the funds after checking you have them, and then it let’s you pump, and only withdraws what you use.

    Man that is cheap, I did that maths to get your fuel price to be $1.74 Aud per litre assuming you’re American and current exchange rates.

    Where I am for petrol it’s $2.11 a litre Aud

    Or roughly $5.13 USD per gallon.

      I think you mixed up the exchange because the USD is stronger than the AUD.

      It’s cheaper in Australia as depending on the fuel, your $2.11 would be their $1.35 USD

        I missed the per gallon on the end.

        2.11 for me to buy fuel in Australia with my money. Convert my fuel to gallons and usd it’s $5 something per gallon

        Still could have don’t the maths wrong was just winging it

      In Ireland this is $20.74 worth of petrol.

      2.943 US gallons is 11.14 litres. At €1.75 per litre, that’s €19.50.

      Petrol hasn’t been under a euro in decades…

      Where I am in the States, it is about the same as the price you stated. I think this person must be in Kentucky or somewhere in middle-America.

    I love how gallons has three decimals now so it does not look like the price moves faster than the volume so much.
