Refueling Steps?

Open the fuel tank cap, typically the fuel tank cap switch is located on the driver's left-side panel, look for the switch with a fuel pump icon. After the attendant finishes refueling, they will remind you to proceed to the counter for payment. Following these instructions essentially completes the refueling process.
I've been driving for decades and I'm very familiar with refueling. The first step is safe entry: slow down and observe when driving into the gas station, find an empty spot to park steadily, ensure the engine is turned off to avoid gasoline vapor causing a fire. Before choosing the fuel nozzle, remember to touch the car body or metal rod to release static electricity, because even a small spark can cause big trouble. When refueling, align the nozzle to the fuel tank opening and don't rush; I usually stop when it automatically clicks off, never force it to be full as it can damage the fuel pump and cause leaks. For payment, cash, card, or mobile payment are all fine; recently I prefer using an app to scan and pay, which is convenient and saves time. When the gas station is crowded, I often help elderly people, as we should take care of each other. Daily driving habits also affect refueling frequency; driving at a steady speed saves fuel, and visiting the gas station less often is both safer and more economical.
