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

    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?

        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.

        I would assume it stops and then you pay after whatever it stopped at

            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.

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

    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.

    Then putting the pump back in the holster jostles it just enough to add a penny.
