Squatting correctly, pumping enough gas to get to Moscow, holding up 3 for victory… I don’t think I could hold it in any longer (about to…) (Joking)
Not squatting correctly, heel not on the ground blyat
And the scarf? Bringing winter gear? Can’t do a Napoleon and Hitler.
I hear diesel is popular in Europe, so that half maybe checks out.
Where isn’t diesel popular?
US. You can’t just pull in and expect diesel. You have to know where they are. I don’t pay that much attention but it’s probably, maybe 1/3 have diesel.
*Wow y’all sensitive to someone’s personal experience.
I’ll back you up. Diesel is widely available in rural and suburban America where big pickup trucks are common, and it’s less available in cities where smaller cars are more common. (Other than an occasional VW model we do not have small cars with diesel engines, which sucks.) I have been to cities on both coasts where you had to go out of your way to find stations selling diesel.
we do not have small cars with diesel engines, which sucks
Trust me, it doesn’t
Yeah, Some people really don’t pay attention. I figure 1 in 3 around here have diesel. Most of those are set up for big trucks as well. The ones that don’t are ready to charge you four bucks for a sixteen ounce soda.
Given how big the US is I would imagine this kind of varies state to state. I’m in Washington state and I would say that about 85 to 90% of gas stations have diesel available. The major ones that don’t off the top of my head are Costco and Fred Meyers Gas Stations. The majority of the rest of them even in downtown Seattle generally have diesel available
I believe you, but I’ve never seen a Fred Meyer that didn’t sell Diesel. In the areas I’ve lived in the United States though, any fuel station without diesel would be a novelty
Not my experience at all.
You should pay that much attention lol.
Meh friends with diesel complain and say they have to know.
I know where I am almost every station has diesel but the ones that do there’s no guarantee it’s at every pump so you still have to pay attention.
Definitely not at every pump. I was talking stations.
Most gas stations still have it there.
Can confirm, here(finland) every gas station usually has diesel, couple types of normal gas and maybe biodiesel, some have also ethanol fuel
I have not seen one gas station in Germany and surroundings that didnt have it. I have seen truck gas stations that only have diesel though.
We do have some gas stations that just have diesel on a few pumps.
The Canadian prairies too. Where are you that stopped even selling diesel?
The mileage of diesel is much larger compared to gasoline, with the distances in the US, why is it not popular there?
From the little I know, the US considers it more polluting because of whatever unique emission profile. Europe thinks the better mileage more than negates that and in fact makes it better. After VW dieselgate, I think the US’s view is considered correct. Not sure where it stands now with diesel exhaust fluid.
Also iirc from what I’m told, Diesel had a bad reputation after poor engines in the 60s, 70s or so. So on a personal level it wasn’t popular in the 80s, 90s, etc. Car makers responded and didn’t use them in cars - now it’s pretty much only VW for diesel cars. Engines are better now but the trend carried even if the reason is forgotten. Big rigs and big ass trucks to haul RVs require it. You pretty much only see them when you require the torque.
Lol funny that there’s a circumstances where polluting is an actual argument held over big oil
Also gasoline was already being adopted as an idustrial standard by the time Rudolf Diesel invented his engine.
Because the oil industry doesn’t need more diesel customers
Is that a fucking T-55
“Kursk gas pump #1”
Those tanks take diseil right?
Yes. We don’t see what’s on the hose though. Nozzle is supposed to be a different shape and color for different fuels, but I can’t tell the difference in reality let alone a blurry photo. But I doubt tank fueling is built to car standards anyway
It looks like a black handle. Black is diesel.
Don’t they take anything?
