most gasoline stations give the option
with service or without service.. with a small difference between 3 and 5
cents.
normally gasoline stations are closed between 12.30 and 14.30.. not on the
toll roads
in this case there is always a self service machine.
so is in the night
a few companies give you a special rebate if you buy gasoline when the
gasoline station is closed

Price is about
1.40 for gasoline
1.30 for diesel

diesel not only is cheaper. but gives you a higher mileage

most gasoline stations take all major credit cards
