Gas Pump Etiquette

[mustangguy289]

Lol so if you drive a diesel, you have tiny nuts?

Taking what I said to the extreme. We all know there are a lot of people who buy diesel trucks to say they have a diesel truck when they have no use for one.

Its bad for the people who actually need a diesel because it does two things... drives the price of the vehicle up, and also drives the cost of fuel up.

Exactly! My diesel is an 18 foot box van full of tools. Not some jacked up wanna be monster truck with a chip dumping smoke all over the road ways because they want to make it like its some sort of race truck too. So yes I actually do need my diesel and no I can't get one with a gas engine. So lets not have everyone stereotype here and make a bunch of asinine assumptions about people that drive a diesel.

Sort of like your asinine assumption that everyone parks at the deisel pumps because they are inconsiderate, not because the other pumps were taken?

my 'ole dodge may not get 30mpg, but it damn sure doesn't get 12mpg...i can get 18mpg easily, with a mix of city/hwy and not trying to hyper-mile it. 05/quad cab 4x4 short bed) my wife's '10 f150 5.4 4x4, on the other hand...that thing is a hog.

I don't think I've ever seen a ford truck with a gas engine bigger than 4.6 get mileage worth a shit.

18 mpg isn't all that bad, but 30 is a little better

I'll be right there with you fuckers when I finish my burb. But I'm sure I can keep my composure if I have to wait for a few minutes at the pump. (this last statement is not directed towards anyone in particular)

To be honest, since I've never owned or driven a diesel, it never occurred to me that all the pumps don't have diesel. Never paid attention before.

Have fun filling up that 12 mpg fuel hog while I breeze by in my vw that gets 30+.

Believe it or not size does matter a little when it comes to commuting.

I refuse to fill up at the diesel pump.

i usually won't, but i will if i'm in a hurry and all other pumps are full (driving my wife's truck)...i guess most others don't think about hte fact that there are usually only one or two diesel pumps. i also will pull into a parking spot, if i have to go inside...if it's busy. if it's not, i'll leave my truck there and go inside. though, i rarely go inside, and if i do, i'm out in a couple of minutes.

We love you back.
Its a trip to see the poor guys in small cars looking up to you in traffic wishing they didnt have to drive a shoe box everyday.

Haha...he's far from poor.

I agree on the annoyance of guys over compensating...anyone see the TMI southpark?

I personally don't give a shit what other peoples schedules are. If you're like most diesel drivers, you don't even need the diesel so you can take whatever inconvenience that comes along with owning.

It annoys me when you see someone get out of a diesel truck who clearly has no use for one except to inflate their tiny nuts.

LOL.

Land of the free and home of other people telling you what you need.

i think he is putting all diesel trucks into the category of overly jacked up four wheel drives that never leave the pavement...

my super duty runs very quietly and is not jacked up. and i have huge nuts. average cock, but nuts are like golf balls...

I tend to assume if you act a certain way online you would be the same offline. If not you need to work on one or the other.

You are correct. I'm doing my best to tone down my online persona. I still like to joke around, just choosing my words better and not be over the top sarcastic since it doesn't seem to interpret well online.

[Sam88gta1]

We have? I had no idea. I'm sure we'd get along just fine offline.

I dont know that ive ever said I wanted to kick your ass. I dislike you but not to the point of wanting to kick your ass.
We have met a few times over the years.
