   you how much you want to prepay/put on the pump, DO NOT say "I want to fill it   
   up", or anything similar.  We fuel center workers do not know how much it will   
   take to fill up    
   your vehicle.  Also, when, in response to your "I want to fill it up", we say   
   "to pay here/prepay, you have to tell us an amount that you want to put in",   
   do not get mad at us.

   DO NOT tell us in terms of gallons.  By that I mean, as an example, don't say   
   20 gallons, say $20.00.

   >5.)  Also in relation to number 3, if you would just take your credit or   
   debit card and pay at the pump instead of prepaying, you don't NEED to know   
   how much it takes/would take to fill up your vehicle.   
      
   This is one of the many reasons I live in New Jersey, the beautiful   
   Garden State.
