I just want to point out that being a diesel owner it is extremely frustrating that many stations only have 1 pump and everyone always seems to use those pumps to pump gas even when every other pump is empty. and the hoses are super short at the station at 290 and delaware

I’m with you on this. And slow pumps with big tanks suck.

I’ll be honest and say I’ve never really paid attention to this. I’d like to say I will in the future, but I probably won’t.

My car does not have a gas cap. It is quite frustrating when it is blowing wind and snow and there is no lock on the pump handle.
