OT: Gasoline fill-up [again] (was Re: [AT] Subdivision Development

[Mike Sloane]

The only problem I have ever had with an attendant was when one didn't 
tighten the cap all the way. The "check engine" light came on shortly 
afterwards, and I feared that I had something wrong with my engine. 
Fortunately, I recalled hearing of someone with a similar problem and 
found the loose cap. But it took almost a week for that light to go out. 
It was no use yelling at the attendant, since he didn't speak English. 
Now I make sure I listen for the "clicking" when they finish the fill, 
and if I don't think I heard it, I get out and check.

The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.
