The Secret to Fueling Your Car Like a Pro!

[@coralburke6495]

Cant thank you enough for posting this. No one ever showed me and now I’m 20 and finally got my G2, but I was too embarrassed to ask anyone cause I know they’d be cruel to me for not yet knowing how to do it, rather than being supportive and showing me

[@youssefalankouni8633]

Smart Drive Test I can’t go on a solo trip yet because my appointment for the Secretary of State is in about a week so I don’t have my license yet. I’m thinking about driving through my town a bit and then once I’m used to driving alone I’ll probably go on the highway. Thanks again for all of your videos they really help on the driving test!

[@smartdrivetest]

So, when you said driver's test - did you mean your learner's permit? Cheers Rick

[@youssefalankouni8633]

Hi Smart Drive Test. I took the test to get my actual license. However I need to go to the Secretary of State in order to acquire a physical license. I already have my permit and I got the certificate that says I passed my road test. I just need to go to the Secretary of State and show them the certificate along with some sort of proof of identification. They will then give me a slip that allows me to drive on my own until they send me my driver’s license with my picture on it in the mail.

[@smartdrivetest]

Which state are you in my friend? Cheers Rick

[@namratapatilthandi]

You are the best Rick. I took my class 5 driving test in BC in Nov 2019 and cleared it as I watched all your videos before my test.I started driving in March after buying my own car and then the pandemic struck and I was home for 4 months.I still watch your videos just to refresh my driving and also to be a better driver. I owe my DL to you and my driving instructor.Keep up the great work.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Namrata Patil Thandi - Thank you for your kind words. And you are most welcome. We're happy to hear we could help out. How are you enjoying driving my friend? All the best, Cheers Rick

[@namratapatilthandi]

I am enjoying driving and getting better.Need to brush up on some signs as city roads can be confusing but highways are fun. I had severe anxiety when I began and music and chewing gum while driving reduce it.It is all about practice.

[@smartdrivetest]

You are correct my friend - exposure and practice will help you to master the skills and become a smarter, more confident driver. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@PersistentPureheart]

I actualy left my car at the gas kiosk and ran in to ask for help 😜🤣😂 Apparently I was confused if Esso had Diesel and Gas both, and if I were actually parked in front of the wrong kiosk 😂🤣😜

[@EpicThe112]

Good tip Rick and in some places like New Jersey and Oregon gasoline is full service which means you have to ask an attendant to fill your gasoline powered car. For both States if you own a diesel-powered vehicle pickup trucks or cars it's self service which means you have to pump it by yourself

[@smartdrivetest]

Hey Epic- are all the gas stations full service. We have the odd one here, but you have to pay a bit more for full service. Most of the pumps, both in the US and in Canada and other places in my experience--have been self-service. And for those of you that might be looking for diesel fuel, the pump handle is YELLOW. Cheers Rick

[@EpicThe112]

@@smartdrivetest NJ and OR are the odd ones because of them being Full service gas the rest of 48 states are Self service

[@smartdrivetest]

Interesting - I did not know that little bit of information. Usually, it's the state of NY that's the odd duck!! Cheers Rick

How do I know how many gallons I would like to add?

[@smartdrivetest]

First, the pump handle will click off when your tank is full. And second, the number below the cost of your fuel is how many gallons you've added to your tank my friend. All the very best, Cheers Rick

[@davidcelliott]

While I fill my tank, I walk around the vehicle and inspect it. I have found screws in my tires, cracks in the glass, and other small problems this way.

Smart Drive Test I passed! I got a 91 but I don’t think that’s really saying much considering we only drove around the block, no lane changes, reversing, or anything in that matter, it was really strange. I’d say it was less than 10 minutes, 7 even. I hope I can get out there more and get more practice I’m super stoked but thanks for the videos it really helped me boost my confidence.

[@visionquest414]

well explained... subscribed..... If I want to pay in cash, how do I go about doing that? I would like $50 on pump 3. Is that all i say? Also, say I don't know how much it costs to fill up. After I'm done pumping,it stopped at 42.80. Do i simplygo back in and ask for my change at pump 3? Is that common? Thanks :)

[@lexbeltran1354]

Say I only want to put $20 worth of gas in my car. Will the pump stop at $20 or will I have to stop at $20?

[@smartdrivetest]

Some pumps will ask in dollar amounts how much fuel you want. Select $20 & the pump will stop at $20. Others you will have to stop the pump manually. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@jinsoulmurray]

i don’t really pay with my card at the fuel station i go to the attendant i get paranoid that someone messed with the card reader at the station and is gonna steal my card info cause I’ve seen stories of it 😭

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi bocas grandes - Thank you for your comment. Don't believe everything you hear my friend. Simply get a receipt, and you'll know that you're good. Also, before sticking your card into the machine, hit cancel twice. Finally, the credit card company has a vested interest in you not getting ripped off. If something happens, the credit card company--in most instances--will cover you. Insurance on your card against fraud comes with the credit card. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@pennymichalski9044]

1.) If you asked for a certain dollar amount and the tank took less money to fill, what then? 2.) The important part is the actual pump handle. The fear is that it won't stop dispensing fuel. Do you just squeeze it and it will click off when full? All these videos have different looking mechanisms in the handle to just set and go. Get a close up on this.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Penny Michalski - Almost always, the handle will click off when the tank is full my friend. All the handles are more or less the same. The only thing that's different is the lock mechanism. On a lot of self-serve pumps it's missing so you have to stay with the pump and hold it. If you pay a certain dollar amount and you pump less, it will either be returned to your credit card, or to you in cash from the cashier. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@johnjeffersonrey8770]

What is the consequence if your gas always spilling up? I’ve always do that all the time. Can you give me advice thanks

[@smartdrivetest]

Are you saying that the pump isn’t shutting off automatically? Cheers Rick

[@andrewmichael9976]

Do not fuel your vehicle yourself in the states of New Jersey or Oregon. Self-service of fuel is against the law in both states. Be sure to wait for a fuel attendant in either state.

[@smartdrivetest]
