Comic by Ben Jennings.

Two guys standing at the pump at a Shell gas station. The guy at pump 2 holds up the gas pump nozzle to his ear and tells the guy at pump 1 “Apparently, if you hold a Shell pump to your ear you can hear the shareholders laughing at you”.

    It is required for diesel vs regular but not the different grades. there will always be fuel in the hose between each pump and therefore it will always mix.

      I thought I recalled Premium and Regular being on differ hoses tho. Just from my brief tenure abroad

      Yeah even in the US diesel and E85 (eco fuel / ethanol) have different hoses and different larger nozzle sizes cause they can ruin an engine that doesn’t support them.

        Some engines require it yes, but it’s still the same fuel and mixing in a tiny bit of regular with premium is not the same as mixing a little bit of diesel with premium.
