At the Gas Station

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my friends Steve and Liz, and I thought this would be a good weekend to drive up to Santa Barbara to see them. Gas prices have been Through the roof, but I decided to take the short road trip anyway. Before getting on the road, I went to the Gas station To fill up my Tank.

I drove past the Full-service pump And parked at the first Self-service one. I got out of the car and saw that there was an β€œout of order” sign telling customers to Pay inside. I wanted to Pay at the pump so I got back into the car and pulled up to the next one. Luckily for me, this one was working.

I Swiped my credit card and took the gas Cap off. I pushed the button for the Grade of Unleaded gas I wanted and put the Nozzle into my tank. There was a sign on the pump that read, β€œDo not Top off.” After the tank was full, I replaced the nozzle and pressed the button for a Receipt. Right when I was about to leave, I noticed that my windows were dirty, so I got the Squeegee and some paper towels and cleaned them. Now, I was ready for my drive up north.
