Squatting correctly, pumping enough gas to get to Moscow, holding up 3 for victory… I don’t think I could hold it in any longer (about to…) (Joking)
I hear diesel is popular in Europe, so that half maybe checks out.
US. You can’t just pull in and expect diesel. You have to know where they are. I don’t pay that much attention but it’s probably, maybe 1/3 have diesel.
*Wow y’all sensitive to someone’s personal experience.
I’ll back you up. Diesel is widely available in rural and suburban America where big pickup trucks are common, and it’s less available in cities where smaller cars are more common. (Other than an occasional VW model we do not have small cars with diesel engines, which sucks.) I have been to cities on both coasts where you had to go out of your way to find stations selling diesel.
Yeah, Some people really don’t pay attention. I figure 1 in 3 around here have diesel. Most of those are set up for big trucks as well. The ones that don’t are ready to charge you four bucks for a sixteen ounce soda.
The mileage of diesel is much larger compared to gasoline, with the distances in the US, why is it not popular there?
From the little I know, the US considers it more polluting because of whatever unique emission profile. Europe thinks the better mileage more than negates that and in fact makes it better. After VW dieselgate, I think the US’s view is considered correct. Not sure where it stands now with diesel exhaust fluid.
Also iirc from what I’m told, Diesel had a bad reputation after poor engines in the 60s, 70s or so. So on a personal level it wasn’t popular in the 80s, 90s, etc. Car makers responded and didn’t use them in cars - now it’s pretty much only VW for diesel cars. Engines are better now but the trend carried even if the reason is forgotten. Big rigs and big ass trucks to haul RVs require it. You pretty much only see them when you require the torque.
Is that a fucking T-55
“Kursk gas pump #1”
Those tanks take diseil right?
Yes. We don’t see what’s on the hose though. Nozzle is supposed to be a different shape and color for different fuels, but I can’t tell the difference in reality let alone a blurry photo. But I doubt tank fueling is built to car standards anyway
