My wife and I drove down to Los Angeles from San Francisco to attend a wedding and stayed there a few days, returning yesterday up through Highway 101. We stopped at Solvang to do some sightseeing and decided to fill at the Arco there. The gas pumps were super busy and there were long lines at each pump. However, I noticed that on the side of the station were 4 diesel pumps separate from the gas pumps. Cool, I thought. Of course, no one was filling at the diesel pumps.
As I was driving off after filling, a later model Toyota Sienna pulled up. The driver had seen my car, and seeing that the lines at the gas pumps were long, probably made an assumption that he could fill at the diesel pumps, since I was pulling away. Remember that there are not too many B5.5 Passat diesels in CA, so he probably thought the pumps were gas pumps. I stopped to see what this guy would do. He stopped at each pump, took a long look, said something to his wife, and pulled over to the next pump. After he had done this to all four pumps, he drove back over to the end of the long line at the gas pumps, which had gotten much longer after his side trip to the diesel pumps. He just looked at me very confused. I drove off at that point, my wife and I cracking up as we drove away...
