Another safety measure..
 
When u go to fill up your gas tank, buy premium gas. Few people buy that now, so little chance of getting the virus from the handle

Buy gas much????

The handle is the same for all 3 grades, you just push a button to select which grade.

No the handles are different at marathon. This is a great safety measure.

Also heard to lift milk from the bottom...not the handle. People may lift it and put it back

Gpsma 04-08-2020 02:04 PM

Oh wait..so right...so just hit the premium button...safer....no one touches thay

Not at any Marathon I go to. Perhaps you are referring to the 90 REC fuel with a separate handle on some pumps, not "premium" gas????

And plenty of people exclusively use the REC gas.

Gas? Who needs gas. My truck is getting 3 weeks to the gallon right now..

My car is designed to run on 87 octane. My hand is protected by a plastic bag that is discarded after I pump gas, an infrequent event these days.

By the time we need gas it will be back to $2.90.

:bigbow: Once again just when you think you've seen it all or heard it all .......someone proves you wrong. I think OP should put some diesel in his golfcart. I haven't touched that handle in a long time. :icon_wink:

Just did it. Licked my fingers. Feel fine. Thanks!!!

And another suggestion. Carry a stick with a hook so you can open non-automatic doors.

These are all things we need to do to stop the sptead

Dog Poop bags work great, of course that assumes that people know what dog poop bags are.

I believe that I must tell you that is his way to pull on our leg.

Oh the tales I could tell....Was it Hummus he wanted to discuss or some ethnic food.

He is trying to be funny......I guess.

And THAT'S worth another $15/tank? What if someone grabbed the wrong hose? Just poke the button with the gas spout (before turning on the "flow.") and use a Clorox or alcohol wipe to hold the handle.. We always carry Clorox or alcohol wipes anyway so when I leave the station the surfaces of the handle, hose and the numeric pad is probably cleaner than it's ever been. :)
