    I’m not from the US so my biggest surprise here is that you don’t get separate hoses for each grade.

      Imagine getting Diesel in Germany. “Sorry, that was actually 15 liters of regular gas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯”

      Edit: Ok, it’s not as bad as I imagined, since this picture seems to be about E15/E10, not diesel/regular.

        Diesel are often entire separate sections of the gas station.

        Most of the pumps in the US have the same hose for 87/89/92 octane pumps that are E10 (10% Ethanol) and if there is a higher ethanol like E15 or E85, they’re usually a separate hose.

        I’ve seen pumps that have individual hoses for each octane grade in the US, but they’re definitely uncommon, at least where I am, and I believe more prevalent on older pumps. But diesel always has its own hose.
