Yeah, I used a green unleaded pump the other day. I think it was one of those stations with the green and yellow splat as their logo. It's in a tiny township on my way to school where they stare at you good and hard because you ain't from around here, and you don't drive a pickup or an early 90's rusty Buick. I do so love pay-at-the-pump. No more waiting behind lottery players.
And I was going to say, yellow seems to be the secondary color for diesel at the pump. Brian On 1/20/07, Werner Fehlauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think that when a "standard" is adhered to, Green seems to be most widely used for Diesel fuel nozzles. At least that's what I encountered last year in driving to the West coast and back. Around here in the mid-Atlantic region, only BP has been reported to deviate from that, and that may have been due to some non-cognizant "repair" man - perhaps even color-blind! It would be interesting to find out if there is such a "standard", and if the various regulatory agencies a)know about it, and b)should enforce it.
