Petrol stations
Jump to: Newest in thread
The thread about putting petrol into a diesel car got me thinking. Does anyone else HATE going to the petrol station?
I passed my driving test in may and have only filled my car up once  I really dislike it. Fortunately I don't travel far and only fill up once a month at the most. However, I am a bit naughty. I've told hubby he can drive my car tomorrow and fill it up on the way home |

"I hate if when people fill up and go in and start doing weekly shopping. And when the walk out like they got the time in the world. Fucking get moving I want to fill up and get out of her.  "
oh god that really winds me up, that's the worst thing they ever did was put a shop there |

When I passed my test and got my first car I didn't know how the pumps worked and got my best mate to come with me the first time to show me how to do it lol.
I try and fill up once a month when I've been paid, occasionally I do need a top up though. It's a pain in the arse because the petrol station near me is always really busy  |

"I normally drive mine till it's fumes before filling up. Just such a faff to stand there pumping away 
Cut it fine today, put 76 litres in a 70 litre tank :o
"
I've worked out I can get to work and back twice with the petrol light on  |

Exactly, they get in their car, and you think great off they go... But no, they sit, put on seat belt, fanny about, fanny around some more then slowly, not quickly, but slowly pull away. Probably stopping at least twice before they actually move. Lol
Deep breath |

At the nearest petrol station to me I have 3 pet hates, the first is waiting for the staff to hit the button so the pump works, the second the whole station coming to a stand still every time some one wants to fill a can not a car whilst staff rush out to check its suitable and the third at rush hour when the place is rammed youve one person on a till and 2 others stacking shelves, the queue of cars is out the forecourt before the 1 on tills has to actually ask one of the seemingly dopey staff members to come and help clear the queue...and breathe.

I giggle my ass off at the folk who wait for the pump on the same side as their filling receptacle when just about every station has hoses that reach both sides. I'm in, refuelled, picked up a ginsters, flirted with the attendant, paid up, and still drive away before some have even got out their cars. |

You really shouldn't be letting your car get to near empty before filling up. It pulls all the crud at the bottom of your tank through the system and can play hell with the fuel filters, especially if the weather is cold.
You should aim at never letting it drop below half a tank ideally. |

"I like running mine till the miles left display gets to zero then I panic and fill up
Hubby once managed to get a company vehicle he was driving to read -70 miles left "
Now that's impressive! Both on the side of the car and your husbands bravery |

I'll say bravery-assuming he didn't run out! |

I hate those petrol stations that won't let you in at night. You have to pay at the window to protect the six foot tall,burly young man at the till from being robbed by the little lady trucker who is busting for a wee and wants a coffee and a sandwich. |

Haven't read the whole thread so soz if this has been said.
My big bugbear is assholes who can't decide which pump to choose and are paranoid that someone else may actually get their fuel before them.
So instead of picking a pump and sticking to it they block the entrance to the station by sitting their waiting for a pump to become free.
Stopping everyone else behind being able to enter the station, usually causing traffic in the road behind.
PICK A PUMP AND STICK TO IT YOU FUCKING MORON,TRY LOOKING IN YOUR MIRROR OCCASIONALLY YOUR NOT THE ONLY PERSON ON THE ROAD .

"If you hate filling up with petrol go out and buy an electric car.
Funny you should say that, I have been researching them recently. Would be a shame to give up my gorgeous little mx5 though"
I want a model S Tesla, but they're so damn expensive  |
