Please help me resolve a friendly argument.
The Situation: You stop at the gas station to refuel on a road trip. You pull up to the pump and fill the tank (paying via credit card). When you are done fueling, you want to head inside to grab a cup of coffee and use the restroom before continuing your journey.
My View: Unless the station is full/nearly full (like a rest stop on a major holiday weekend), it’s fine to leave the car at the pump while going inside. I’ve always done it this way, but someone recently argued to me that you should always move once fueling is complete. If you want coffee, you should move the car to a parking space first.
To CMV, what’s wrong with leaving the car
