Does someone else pumping gas on the opposite side of you, but from the same pump cause you to get less gas?

Question:
Out of curiosity, since gas in California is almost $3.00 a gallon, when you are pumping gas and someone goes on the other side of the pump and starts pumping their gas, is there a slight decrease in the amount of gas your tank receives? When they start, I always hear a click of the pump, does that effect your pumping at all?

do UPS trucks use GPS?

no, they are fed by separate tubes and are measured. just watch the gallons and compare that with what your gage on the tank says. your owners manual will tell you how much your tank holds when full, then you will know for sure when you see how much you put in plus what you estimate is left in the tank. $3.00 gas makes us all watch a little closer!

it doesn't cause you to get less gas but the pump will prolly pump your gas slower.

it might make the gas punp just a little bit slower, but it won't give you less gas, because its measuring how much its giving you not the amount of time.

What's the worst car still in use today?

There is not a decrease in the amount of gas you get and it doesn't effect your pumping at all. The tank should say how much gas you are getting.

Nope. Gasoline is RIGIDLY controlled in this country. Anything of that nature would cause the person responsible to end up going to prison. Every month, a federal inspector shows up at every gas station and tests every pump to guarantee everyone gets every last drop they pay for.

I dont know much about cars, but i want to.?

You get gas more slowly, but you get the same amount of gas. It's like when someone flushes the toilet when you are takinga shower. The water gets cold because there is less water available to keep the system pressurized.

The thing is that the metering of the gas that goes in your car takes place in YOUR pump as well as THEIR pump. And you don't stop pumping until YOUR pump clicks off or you get to the amount you want.

Who do I contact in Rep.of Ireland to find out if a speeding ticket was issued?


Otherwise they would get fined by inaccurate metering by the Dept of Weights and Measures. They take that kind of scam seriously.

which is the best radar detector for highways as well as locally, price not an issue?

If the pumps are rather old or cheap you will see a decrease in the flow but the hose you are on is metered seperate from his so the actual amount will not vary. It may, however, lengthen your time required to fill up your tank.

When you see an SUV, what are your thoughts/opinions of the driver?

The number of gallons that go into your vehicle is what you pay for. The pressure and flow from the pump into your car will not be affected by the activity of anybody else at the pump.

what does ava stand for?

You get the same amount of gas, but it comes out slower.

at what age did you get your first car? brand new or second hand??


If you are unsure of this, wait until someone is on the other pump and then start pumping. If you're charged for like 30+ gallons of gas and your tank only holds 14, you'll know there's a problem.

why there is no standard to define small car?

Why does the pressure of the liquid coming out of the end of the hose effect the volume of gas that your car can hold. It doesnt. The rate does not effect the price / or quantity of gas you pump.

what is the lockers for a 4x4 truck?

Your gas is charged to you by flow, not by time. Old gas pumps used to have printed on the front of them: "Accurate at any flow rate." It's still true. Your gas and electric meters at home work the same way. You can even check it by varying how hard you squeeze the handle on the nozzle. Squeeze harder, get more gas, and watch the numbers count faster. Less of a squeeze, and the gas and the charge go up slower. In the end, a full tank costs exactly the same.

How do I find out the recommended tire pressure for my Bridgestone tires?


And yes, gas costs too much!

Some snow tires can't be studded, yet claim to be as good as studded...is this really true?

No, there separate pumps and recording devices for each host.
