Today I tried to put diesel in my Camry.

Wait.

Let me explain.

I usually get gas at a BP station near work, and all their pump handles are green. They have a dedicated pump for diesel separate from the gas pumps. The diesel pump handles are yellow.

So I notice on my way to work this morning that I have but a quarter tank left. And it's COLD out. My car is warm. I'm about to drive past a gas station, so why not fill up here so I can get back in my warm car, rather than drive my cold car to the station after work and get back in a cold car after standing in the cold.... yeah.

So the pump looks like the one way above. Three buttons for gas, one for diesel, and TWO nozzles. One I did not see since it's BLACK and mounted in a BLACK housing. I do see the green one, and grab that and press the "87" button. I swing it around and aim it for the hole in my filler neck. It doesn't go in. It DOES, however, spill a little bit of fluid onto the cup around the hold. WTF. I try to stick it in again. It won't go.... that's when I turn around and notice the light on the diesel button flashing.

FUCK.

I DUMB.

Hung up the GREEN DIESEL nozzle, and picked up the BLACK GAS nozzle and again pressed the "87" button.

Hey, it fit.

Please tell me this is an old pic off the internet. Because I haven't seen gas prices this low in years.

Ah, the Atlantic differential. I'm more used to people saying "I tried to fill my Golf with petrol".

I have to admit I almost did the same thing about two years ago. My ex girlfriend's dad had just bought an Audi Q5 3.2 and the lady friend and I were driving it back from a weekend in Kentucky. I stopped at BP, just like yourself, and almost made that fatal mistake. It scared me shitless because the car was BRAND NEW. Like less than 2,000 miles. To this day, no matter what gas station I go to, I make sure to double and sometimes triple check which fuel I'm using.

I once saw a beige Camry with a Cummins and Supra sticker across the back window.

It's averaging about $2.99/gal where I live.

Even that is really low. I can't remember the last time I saw gas for less than $3/gallon here in Connecticut. Right now regular is hovering around the $3.50/gallon mark, and has been for awhile.

I laughed. Then I felt bad. Because gas hasn't been that cheap since the 90's.

Oh how I wish gas would cost this little again

I remember when I started driving it was .99 per gallon.

And THAT was too expensive.

I usually have to do a double take just to make sure. Don't feel bad.

Yeah where was this guy or the hot readhead getting coffee?

Just trying to make it a little more Jalop?

Next you'll drive it backwards everywhere and strap a cargo box to the hood (now trunk) in search of the elusive RWD diesel Camry wagon. Is it at least already brown?

Is this an OJ reference?

If the nozzle don't fit, you mustn't fill it.

My mom would always tell me 'I remember the gas wars when it was $0.10 a gallon'.

That's great mom...

This is why Diesel pumps don't fit in Unleaded cars.

Was it grounded to the ground?
