Many people say that domestic credit cards cannot be used. For safety, it's best to use cash. Tell the cashier the pump number, then pay, and after leaving, choose the type of fuel (usually yellow for 85 or 87, equivalent to 92 and 95 in domestic gasoline, and green for diesel). Then fill up the tank. Either get the change back at the cashier after filling up, or pay the exact amount you pre-paid.

I have friends whose credit cards were fraudulently used after they used their credit cards at gas stations. If you use a credit card to fill up, go to the counter, and it's best to use cash.

I had a problem using my credit card at the fuel dispenser, so I went into the store and told the staff at the POS machine which pump to use and how much to charge. Using a credit card can only charge a certain amount of money for fuel, it cannot be set to full. It is recommended to use cash for refueling, as it is cheaper and the excess amount can be refunded to you after the tank is full.

It is recommended to use cash, which is very convenient and avoids the risk of credit card locking and fraud. The prices of gasoline for credit cards and cash are different at some gas stations.

The return fee in the United States is really like robbery! I returned the car at the Los Angeles airport, and the gas station was less than 1km away from the return point. After topping up the gas, I received feedback today saying that the fuel level was not enough. How much do I need to fill up to be considered full? Does it need to overflow? Where can I read the fuel level? When returning a rental car, you need to be careful, as there are traps everywhere ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
