I would personally HATE it if anyone else put fuel in my cars other than myself.

Agree. I would go out of my way to avoid such. I tend to fill up on V-Power at Shell stations here in the UK. Many seem to be employing "attendants" now. I always politely decline. I'm the type to try to catch drips with my hand rather than let gas/petrol fall on the paint.
Back in the day, when I lived in The States, I was always baffled by the NJ type laws regarding "self-fueling" and folks who seemed baffled by the concept. I grew up around heavy equipment, trucks, and farming... As a little boy, I was thrilled when I got a chance to drive something/anything to the family fuel tanks behind the barn and "filler 'er up!" 
Then later, as driving teenager, being 'gifted' some gas was a welcome reward for chores and labor! Given that gas was $0.80/gallon(US) then... |
