Pumped the wrong gas into my car. Apparently when I said “fill with Supreme” he comprehended that as “regular.”
How is everyone’s day going? I built a Lego tank and got paid today.

There’s a Wartortle and Dragini nearby but I’m stuck at my desk.

Hissssssssssss
Also the last time I rode a motorcycle in Jersey I got away with pumping my own gas. I think my RBF is to thank for that.

So how’s that work in Jersey then? If they put the wrong fuel in your car are they responsible for replacing it, or is it a “well best of luck pal"?

There are a few stations I can get away with it, but this guy was right by my car when I pulled in

He stared at me with a blank look on his face...so I saved myself the trouble and anger and drove off. I’ll burn through this tank quickly

Did it get upset and throw a CEL?

20 miles in and nothing so far.

Does that mean you got paid to build a Lego tank, or are the two only related by happening on the same day?

I am at work, which happens to be teaching Lego robotics. I built that today

Probably not going to see any issues - the engine will retard timing accordingly.

Did you put his body where it will be found? Sometimes you just have to send a message.

Well.... It’s a Honda too. I know many who put regular in their Acuras and they seem ok.

Welcome to the club. Feel free to shake your head every time you see the Jerzee pride we don’t pump our own gas stickers.

Depends how far you want to take it.
Typically the fuckheads will just try to blame you, saying you said regular.

If they put gas in your diesel truck, and you start the engine are you responsible for what happens? I imagine it would take 3 years in court to win

You can pump your own diesel.

In Jersey? Even if it’s a diesel car?
![]() 07/15/2016 at 11:29 |

Probably a case-by-case but generally no. There is an obvious smoking gun. You can pump your own diesel, also.

You evil son of a....
As a guy who’s dad owned a gas station in NJ and had to pump gas whenever a gas pumper quit/got fired/called in sick you people who uses BRANDED gas names to identify between the 3 standard levels are the WORST GOD DAMN CUSTOMERS EVER.
I can’t tell you how many times I got in arguments with people. Does it say Supreme on the pump you pulled up to? didn’t check? Can’t see? Give the number octane you want.
I understand Supreme should never equal regular, but it most likely doesn’t say supreme on HIS pump anywhere.
Sorry there’s lots of internal rage from these incidents in my past haha. The biggest battles were between Super vs Super Premium. I filled plenty with Super which was our mid-grade instead of super premium.
Seriously though if you have a specific octane you want, just say the number.

I would drive a little easier if it was supposed to have 93. If its high compression or turbo, you could cause problems with detonation if pushed hard.

Oh you and STI quit yer whinin’. Not pumping your own gas is one of the GOOD things in life.

Yeah.

That’s what someone else said too. Why can you pump your own diesel but not gasoline?
![]() 07/15/2016 at 11:38 |

No worries about people dumping diesel on themselves back in the 1950s? I dunno.

It’s all fun and games until you have to pump out your tank.

Bastard near me did the same shit. I apologize in advance for driving like a dick for the weekend to burn it off....

Go find an E85 station and spike your fuel tank with ethanol to get it up to “supreme” octane levels. Then spike it with a few more gallons to clean the hell outta your fuel system!
![]() 07/15/2016 at 13:25 |

There isnt an E8t station anywhere near me lol
![]() 07/15/2016 at 13:36 |

Yeah...if I ever have crap gas pumped into my SL, Ill have a serious problem.
I just cross another station off the list...

It’s like ordering ice cream at a Cold Stone.
Me: “ Hi, can I please have a medium chocolate cone? ”
Employee: “ Oh, a Love It? ”
Me: “ Um, what? ”
Employee: “ You said you want a Love It? ”
Me: “ Yes, I love chocolate...? ”
Employee: “ No, but what size do you want? ”
Me: “ A medium! ”
Employee: “ Yeah, that’s called a Love It. ”
Me: “ Go fuck yourself ”

Yeah, I always make a point of visually confirming. That and the @#$% paint chips around the filler; I hate NJ.

Or coffee at a Starbucks.
The only difference is, what you call Super at one station could be the top octane fuel at that station vs the “medium” octane fuel at the station across the street where they call high octane Super Premium or Premium.
If you ordered “Medium” or the “middle one” at a full serve, I guarantee you’re getting mid-grade no matter what it’s called.
