You drove and pulled up to the gas station to fill your gas tank. You exited your vehicle, opened your gas tank cover, grabbed and put the dispenser nozzle in. You also had to pay at some point.
How can you forget that the hose is still connected to your car when you drive off?
Do some countries or areas have gas pumps that you just insert and then they pump without you constantly squeezing the handle? The ones I’m used to feel kinda impossible to forget because there is no reason to ever let go of the hose handle until it’s back in place.
The USA is weird… You’re in one State and you aren’t allowed to put fuel in your car by yourself then you cross the border to the next State and you can put fuel by yourself AND you can do it without having to hold the nozzle while it’s pumping…
That’s just New Jersey, and if you’re in New Jersey you have bigger problems anyway.
Oh wow, Oregon got rid of that stupid law!
Imagine that, you’ve got people there that had to put gas in their car for the first time in 50+ years of driving!
I bet the mechanics had a great few months.
Yes, the ones here (California) can be set to keep pumping automatically until the tank is full and then stop.
But why would you leave the pump before it’s done? Even if you don’t have to hold the handle, what else are you going to do for 20 seconds.
Get out of the cold?
What kind of tank you have that fills up that fast?
Sometimes I clean my windshield, sometimes just spend a minute on my phone or rearrange stuff in my car
Drinks? Piss?
