Quote:It's so weird that you have that over there.. we just fill up and pay afterwards (if paying by cash)... then again.

 

How much does it cost to fill up and average car over there? From empty it costs me around £60 which is about $75.

 

A business here would have to close its doors within a week if it adopted that policy. It wasn't always like that, though, because nearly everyone paid with cash then. Signs of the times, I suppose. However, on a bike ride not too long ago, I stopped to fuel up at a little rural Mom & Pop place that still uses old analog pumps with the scrolling number wheels. Paying at the pump was not an option. I hadn't seen that in years. In another sign of the times, I just happened to be lucky enough to have cash on me to pay for the gas. 

 

It only cost me $38.50 to fill up. You folks have to pay for your free healthcare, though.
