  Unleaded, Super Unleaded, or Premium?
Alright so pretty much no one buys Premium gas. It's so expensive. I've got a case of the dandruff. Rather than ramble on about all the nice people I have met at the gas station over the past few days, I'll leave you now with some safetfy tips you should always adhere to when refueling.

-Stay near your vehicle's fueling point when using a self-serve station.
-Do not go back into your vehicle when refueling, regardless of whether you use the nozzle's hold-open latch.
-If you must re-enter your vehicle while refueling, discharge the static electricity by touching a metal part of the outside of your car away from the filling point before touching and removing the gas nozzle.
-Always turn your engine off before refueling.
-Never smoke, light matches or use a lighter while refueling.
-To avoid spills, do not overfill or top off your gas tank.
-Let the fuel dispenser shut off automatically and leave the nozzle in the tank opening for six to eight seconds so the gasoline in the tank neck can settle down and any remaining gas in the nozzle can drip out of it into the tank.
-When filling a portable container always place it on the ground, and don't move away from it until you're through and the cap is back in place.
 
Comments:
Sounds like you're really attacking this gas station job with gusto man. I wouldn't be able to handle it. Does everyone there assume that when you say you're from NY that you live in NYC? I really find that funny when people I meet in the midwest do that...

Trivia question - What's more prone to explosion: Liquid gasoline or gasoline vapor?
 
Also I buy premium...otherwise my car doesn't like to do the whole starting/running thing.
 
Yeah dude. Well, I am from NYC. I grew up in the hood the first 10 years of my life. I have street cred. Most people around here with crappy cars just buy the unleaded stuff cause that's all they can afford anyway.
