Color of Gas
Inflation of gas price is incredible. So nowadays I'm using self-service gas station where I can save 10 cents for every gallon. Self-service at gas station is not popular yet in Korea. As you know, if gasoline car eats diesel, it will kill your engine. (If you have no idea about that.. Pls. remember it). In case of my car needs gasoline which is coded as yellow.
In Korea, all gasoline nozzle is colored in yellow and diesel is green (One pump can be used for both type of gas). Even though I had not been used gas pump while I'm driving, it is easy to recognize. But there is still a chance for an error. Sometimes new gas service man makes confusion with car type. Because most of all SUV in Korea has diesel engine usually but all imported SUV is gasoline engine usually.
But it seems different in every country. Often red is used for premium quality branded gasoline. In many cases, pump machine has a color of the company brand. Ex. Esso gas station use white for Regular, blue for Extra and Red for Supreme. Those buttons have numbers which indicates Octane number(Usually 85).
Problem is drivers who had enjoyed service man's fueling without going out of car makes trouble some time. Confusion of gas type and amount of gas (Gallon versus Litter). Especially Koreans and Japanese have trouble for this.
Anyway, I think having a specific color for a gas type is good idea. Can we make one for Ethanol and Bio-diesel as well?
