Several years ago I had a span where I drove off with the nozzle in my GAS HOLE three times in two months. For the third time I just drove back and left the hose by the pump without saying anything.

Am i the only one here who stands right beside the nozzle the entire time it's filling, and removes it immediately after it's done? How packed is your schedule that you can't just stand there and sniff gas fumes for 3 minutes?

In these parts for some reason it is illegal to light up a cigarette next to a gas pump. So I watch next to the stack of propane tanks and firewood.

They don't have latch-on nozzles here, so it's not an issue generally. You can jam your filler cap etc in the handle to achieve the same effect, though.

I stopped for gas somewhere on a trip and the pump was going really, really slow. It did have a latch, so i went in to get a snack or something because it was taking so long. Then just as I came back out gas started overflowing out. So I guess there is that as a reason to not have the latches, since most people will just wander off/not pay attention if it doesn't stop.

Fun fact: in states that don't have latches on the gas pumps, using the filler cap to jam the handle open is usually explicitly illegal.

And what's the deal with short rear end fuel hoses. my filler hole is in the center of the car a foot off the ground, some stations i have to be drat near on the curb and hold the nozzle upside down to get it in.

Maybe they had to keep recrimping the hose every time astrollinthepork used it and it ended up really short

Off the top of my head, Massachusetts doesn't allow latches, nor do most Canadian provinces.

Colostomy Bag posted:Anyone here actually eaten a gas station hot dog or burrito? Most petrol stations here have a pie warmer, and a time on the front saying when they were put in. Good ones will have little squeeze packets of tomato sauce for free with a pie purchase. Avoid the Four'n'Twenty pies, affectionately known as rat coffins, and you'll be fine.

Grew up in NJ and worked at a gas station all through high school. The dogs are fine, it's the frozen microwavable burgers in plastic that were gutbombs. Also NJ had latches. The big thing was for people coming in to grab  of gas, don't take their money til the end because they're way more likely to see the pump stop, think "I paid!" and just drive the gently caress off with the hose.Only happened twice while I was on duty, and never to a car of mine. Those disconnects are pretty beefy and you can generally just pop em back together.

I'm glad edd left wheeler dealers. The last few seasons have not been particularly good. "here is a ford bronco." "oh the things need replacing "here is the shell of a new bronco" "ok we went ahead and replaced everything it took 3802 hours and we are done now here is the final product" come on

It seems to be about 50/50 in Orlando whether a given station will have handle locks or not. And it's infuriating when they don't, since I'm 6'5" and drive a Protege, so when I hold the handle I end up having to pull a Clarkson.

I don't think that the recent producers understand the real appeal of the show: they seem to think that more people will want to watch if it is about flipping cars and making a few bucks. They don't realise that for some of us, the high point is watching a rusty suspension being stripped down and rebuilt. With Car SOS, I genuinely look forward to the bits where they repair vinyl seat covers

Kwiktrip in Wisconsin has relatively legit food, they try to be a grocery store almost as much as they are a gas station.
