I recently drove to the airport in a bit of a rush in a small 4-cylinder car. Drove straight up to pump that was basically touching the road I was on, tapped credit card, authorized for $100 and opened cap at same time. Stuffed the pump in and held it at max flow. 45l of gas later, cap back on, pump away and moving again.
I don’t think it would be possible to be faster.
Total time stopped: 7 minutes.
I'd love to know how much range you're adding to your ICE vehicle after pumping gas for 1-2 minutes.
- pornel 2y agoFast DC chargers add 7 to 13 miles of range per minute (charging is fastest when the battery is almost empty). Competent charging networks also accept contactless cards or even automatically bill your account when you plug in.
- vel0city 2y agoAll these people saying it takes a minute or two to get gas haven't paid attention to how long they actually spend entering the gas station, driving to the pump, getting out, negotiating payment, choosing fuel type, opening your tank, pumping, putting the handle back, hitting no on the receipt option, getting back in the car, leaving the pump, and entering traffic. Sometimes it'll take a minute just waiting for traffic to clear to pull out! And then it's also assuming there is a gas station on your current route, and that it's one with a decent price and not more expensive than other stations around. A lot of the trips I take don't go past a decently priced gas station, the few I routinely do pass are often 5-6¢/gal more than others. At 22 gallons that's over a dollar more. And also assuming you never get gas at a place like Sam's Club or Costco, which offer some big discounts but often have lines.
