how come americans turn their engines off when they're refueling

The Apple® MacBook® Pro with Retina® Display doesn't have this problem.

literally the entire of Australia does too.
>your country is the weird one.

>poo in loo
oh that explains it. you probably also eat while sitting

>>16169568
You can't even fill up your own car in American't.

>american'ts in charge of anything

>>16169608
isnt australia that country that like 50% of the population is a direct descendent of a criminal? since england put all their criminals on australia, yaknow.

I've just always done it because most pumps have warning stickers that tell you to turn the car off first.

>>16169616
But you can.
>Confirmed for not being American

>>16169617
You're right, but what's that got to do with how you fill petrol up?

There's probably some sort of safety reason for it, not to mention I don't want some cunt coming up and stealing my car while I'm paying for my petrol.

>>16169635
wait wait wait, do americans not have payment on the pump itself?

that would probably explain a lot of this, here in the UK we can pay in person but no one does it we just use cards

>>16169650

Its the same, we can use cards at the pump or walk in with cash.

>>16169650
I'm from Australia, m8

We don't pay at the pump, at least in SA, I think some other states might have a pay-at-the-pump setup but I don't travel much.

>>16169617
>isnt australia that country that like 50% of the population is a direct descendent of a criminal?
less than 10%. even then the 'convict blood' in that person would be no greater than 1/32
lets not forget america was also populated by convicts from the british empire (if they werent religious nuts)

>>16169568
Because I don't want to deal with a check engine light.

>>16169663
In one fucking state
>Georgia
Meanwhile, Straya gets filled up with crim paddy scum and become the shithole it is today

>>16169616
lol, litterally 1 state has laws saying that people cant fill their cars at the pump. 1 fucking state. stop generalizing you retarded cuck.

>>16169671
>and become the shithole it is today
a safer, healthier and easier place to live than most of the world, including the us of a?

people who stole a loaf of bread 300 years ago are worth infinitely more to a society than cotton picking niggers

>>16169676
Two states buddy, Oregon and New Jersey

>>16169687
>safer
You think it's safer because you cucks outlawed gun ownership? All of my keys
>Healthier
By what, a couple fucking pounds? You're also one of the fattest first world countries so you have no reason to talk, also you're more likely to develop skin cancer in Aboland than anywhere else except maybe Antarctica
>Easier
How's the Highway patrol treating you?

I'll give you the niggers, but at least they don't steal our petrol to huff it

>>16169700
i know its safer because statistically i am less likely to be raped, robbed, assaulted (with a gun or not), or killed. whether it be by the hands of another citizen or the police.

i am not talking weight. i am talking health. enjoy being left for dead when your insurance company refuses to pay out for cancer or some other super bad illness. or enjoy paying $300 for fucking epipens. meanwhile ill just stroll into my nearest healthcare center or hospital and get my treatment and medication for free.
>inb4 retarded and invalid muh taxes argument

highway patrol is treating me fine because i am a law abiding white citizen. have any economy crippling recessions lately? roflmao

>aus coons live in the desert and dont annoy anyone
>usa coons shut down highways in major cities and cause mass disruption

>>16169726
>I'm less likely to be raped
Aus grille? Kek should have figured you shitters were feminine, or are you just from Queensland?
>$300 epipens
Not a problem anymore, and of course you don't want to talk about weight considering how self-conscious you are you facing
>Highway patrol is treating me fine
Pussyfoot says what? Get some balls m8 FFS
>coons live in the desert and don't annoy anyone
BULL FUCKING SHIT

>>16169700
it is safer, healthier and easier to live here.

just as an fyi, we ranked higher on personal freedoms than you. New Zealand took out #1 spot.

FACTS.

>>16169739
Different ausfag here, can confirm that 'straya is a pretty relaxed place to be.

Doesn't mean I'm happy with the nanny state laws, but I'd rather be here than in burgerstan. For now, at least.

Trump might change that.

>>16169739
assuming someone would ever go to prison they literally will not be raped unless they steal or are a pedophile. meanwhile in america people getting raped just because america is full of faggot convicts (highest prison population per capita of the developed world, try call aus a convict country again fgt).
and when you get out of prison youll have to pay 3k a month for hiv medicine, lol!

>coons live in the desert and don't annoy anyone
yes. they also represent 1% of the australian population, not over 10% like murrka and their coons

look how much a broken ankle costs you in americunt land. then think again. americunt is a shit tier 2nd world country.

not 1st world, not quite 3rd world, but it'll get there soon.

soon you'll be taking safari's through detroit looking at all the wild life and buying rice to feed all the poor cunts

>>16169768
>implying anyone but spics niggers and white trash goto prison
Lmao, this is what you came up with?

>>16169775
they cant get rice, trump pissed off the gooks. is that why they invaded vietnam? for rice?

>>16169769
as told by international institutions.

enjoy your shit hole country.

kek, in 2016 you don't even make the top 10.

i love how the government in the usa tells you you're the best and you just blatantly belive it whilst a 30 second google will show you how shit tier your country actually is.

>>16169778
normal people go to prison too. its called having sex with a drunk bitch

People here say your car will blow up

>>16169787
>implying that only happens in Murica
Try that in Melbourne and see what happens

>>16169785

Oh, you mean the ones from outside Murica that hate Murica? Like I give a fuck what some European socialist thinks about my country lmao

>>16169794

What is going on here anon?

>>16169824
a dumb cunt americunt won't believe all overwhelming evidence that usa is a shit hole c(o)untry when compared to 1st world nations.

>>16169658
California has had credit or cash at the pump for like 20 years.
I've only seen the cash in California though- every other state has credit unless you're in some podunk town in the country side.

>>16169662
Nah, maybe like one or two in the city, but I live in Sydney and they're all pay at the counter servos.

I only do it because I used to have to tell others to do it when I worked at the Costco gas station.

>>16169671
At the moment, Australia is actually filling up with chinks and muzzies, most of us are descended from working class people that moved here in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

Thank you very fucking much. Most Americans are too retarded to even know the year when the constitution was written, let alone jack shit about pumping petrol.

Didn't know you leaving your car on when filling up was a thing desu

Is this done in Europe? Because I don't see it here in Aus, even at the pay at the fancy pump servo's

I've never seen anyone leave their engine running idle in Europe what would be the point?

because pouring gas creates fumes and there's a non-zero chance that some of those fumes could get in to your engine bay and be sucked in to the intake and.. maybe there's a lightning strike probability of something bad happening
Probably one time 70 years ago somebody's car caught on fire because of it and everyone freaked out

Why the fuck would you leave your car running when it's not in use?
The only reason to do so is if it's like -30°C outside.

I've never seen anyone's car running while filling up.
t. European

>>16169676
>>16169699
Thats not even totally true. I drove through Oregon and pumped my own gas

>>16169616
that's new jersey

>>16169568
And lock your doors so some faggot doesn't steal your shit.

>>16170302
And Oregon

>>16169676
>>16169699
>>16170302

You are all retards. It varies by town, not state. I live in Massachusetts and there are certain towns where it is full serve only. I never get gas here. I don't know what retarded soccer mom politician thought it would be a good idea to FORCE people to have some grubby peasant to pump your gas for you. These degenerate fucking poors will chip the paint on your car because they wont ever accomplish shit in their lives so they pump gas

>>16169568
Kys retard

You probably will by leaving your car on at a petrol station lmao

>>16170456
You know that protectionism to protect muh jerbs trump was campaigning on? There you go.

>>16170471
shut up faggot

>>16169787
Yep, breaking the law.
Is it really that difficult?

>>16169568
We do this in Mongo- Finland too.

In America we have feral chimps lurking around the pumps asking for money. Leave your car running is asking to get it stolen.

>>16170107
>most of us are descended from working class people
That's an interesting way to describe criminals

>filling up a cup with a hole in the bottom

For what purpose?

>>16170481
Get rekt that you're pandering to the public with liberal ideals

>>16169670
the only person who seems to understand as to why with the new cars.

>>16169754
Kek. People believe this shit.

>>16170167
>fumes in your intake a bad thing
>implying your evap system doesn't do exactly fucking that

>>16169568
because some stupid motherfuckers smoke at the pump

>>16169568
My dad said he sometimes used to fill up his Mustang with the engine still running back in the 80s. Guess it's not done today because there's some tiny potential of a hazard...
>Muh safety!

>>16170496
Kek, the wawa I used to work at would run them off all the time, customers would come in and report them constantly

>>16169568
Because we aren't a backwards 3rd world shithole.

>tfw some faggot here tried to steal fuel and ended up running over and killing the gas station attendant chasing him so they made some stupid shitty law that makes you pay beforehand.

Thebstore clerk gets all pissy and yells if you dont turn the motor off

Why would you waste the gas and put extra wear on your car by letting it idle for five minutes while you pump gas?

they turn their engines off in Japan too, and most gas stations in japan are full service.

>>16171375
That won't work out here, our apes have guns.

>>16169608
Because I would totally leave the car running as i fill it up, walk into the building to pay as some Sudanese cunt steals it.

Mid-grade kek

It's got something to do with petrol fumes being flammable so an electrically charged vehicle chassis and hot exhaust gasses can start a fire. It is exactly the same reason why they have signed about mobile phones at bowsers.

>>16173753

Because it's sexy.

>>16173796
Wawa is American you dipshit, it's in PA, NJ, MD VA and FL

anyone here remember the old days when you could pull up to a pump raise the lever... and fill up and then walk inside and pay the exact amount owed after filling?

fuck I miss that.

>>16169568
dripping gas from the finished nozzle can hit the hot tailpipe and ignite

reading this thread is like watching a bunch of fucking retard backwards hicks from accross the globe argue because they cant see past their insignificant lives

>>16174077
You just come out here to Oakland, CA and try to "run off" the local pump niggers. Make sure all of your affairs are settled first.

>>16174146
Oohhhh, fuck east bay niggers

>>16174115
Yet here you are.

>>16170471
there's a difference between protecting american jobs from foreign poo-in-loos and pacos and creating bullshit jobs via government regulation

>>16169608
Aussie here this.

Nobody leaves their engines on

>>16169568
Because modern fuel systems are supposed to be closed loop

But I understand your confusions, Wojtek, that really doesn't apply to Trabants
