程度の副詞

Another day on the job here at the gas station, and I’ve seen just about everything.

The “get every last drop in the tank” types, the nozzle tuggers, the nozzle ripper-offers!

Here are the most common mistakes people make while fueling up!

Putting gas in any container If I see you with an empty jug of milk out

You can only pump gas into approved portable containers.

You also can't fill them up inside your car or its trunk because static electricity can

And don't forget that gas expands, so you should leave 5% of the container space empty.

Being distracted Think of it this way – every time you pull

up to the pump, you’re about to handle a highly toxic and explosive material.

So nonchalantly scrolling through your social media feed is no way to handle such a high-stakes

Otherwise, you could overflood the tank and cause a spill.

You might also accidentally pump diesel into your gas-powered car.

Distractions are also why so many people forget to take the nozzle out of their tank, drive

away, and rip the whole thing off the pump!

Exactly why we put those “No Cell Phone” signs up!

Not looking at the pump screen Don’t assume all pumps are accurate and

Equipment can go bad, and gas station workers might not notice it right away.

Instead of looking down at your phone or watching those fancy little TVs many stations are putting

on the pumps, your eyes should be on the pump screen.

Before you start refueling your car, make sure the screen says $0.00 so that you don't

Also, look out for stickers on the pumps that tell you the date of the last inspection.

They check that customers are getting what they pay for.

By the way, which of these gas-station no-no’s are you guilty of?

But I’ve got more, so let’s keep rolling!

Topping off your tank Gas needs room to expand, right?

Topping off your fuel tank can affect your car’s performance and could possibly damage

the engine because of the built-up pressure.

Plus, once a gas tank is full, there’s no way to fit any more in there.

There’s a reason the nozzle kicks off when your tank has all the gas it can hold – don’t

Because you don’t want to come into the store and make small talk with me, I get it.

There’s this thing called card skimming – which is when an illegal reader is attached

And don’t look at me – I didn’t do it!

Anybody can walk up to the pump and put that thing on there!

Then data from your credit or debit card’s magnetic stripe winds up in the wrong hands,

and you’re seeing all kinds of transactions you didn’t make!

Grab yourself a coffee while you’re at it!

Walking away while pumping If you come in for that coffee I brewed over

an hour ago before the morning rush, don’t pop in while your gas is pumping.

I know there’s that handy little stand you can pull out to keep the gas flowing even

But it’s not there so that you can do other things while your car fills itself.

Remember that part about pumps not always working perfectly?

That automatic click-off might not work, and you’ll have a nasty spill!

Well, I’LL have a nasty spill to clean up, so please don’t…

Not checking your tires Checking your tire pressure is a good gas

I even have a nice air pump you can use…for a price!

If your tires are underinflated, you don’t get as good gas mileage.

Then you end up spending more because you have to fill up more often.

You can find the proper tire pressure for your car on a sticker in the driver's side

But never use the maximum pressure printed on the tire's sidewall.

Not touching your car before pumping gas Remember that thing about static electricity

Well, get this: when you get out of the car, your clothes sliding against the seat fabric

And when you grab that metallic nozzle, a spark can happen.

Just like when you accidentally shock someone, right?

Only, instead of giggling and seeing if you can do it to your friend again, that tiny

To dispel any electric charge on you, just touch a metal part of your vehicle before

Not washing your hands after a fill-up Escalator rails, ATM buttons, even your own

They’re among the dirtiest public surfaces.

You know what’s on the top of that list?

They’re covered in germs because everyone and their cousin have touched them.

So, you hang the handle back on the pump, scratch your eye, bite your nails, and next

thing you know, you’ve got a nasty virus.
