    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.
