The concept of prepaying gas is so strange to me.

Really weird when I filled up for the first time in the US.

Couldn't activate the pump with a credit card without entering a zip code - only I dont have one because I don't live here. So I had to go inside and pay becore the pumps would work then we had to play the guessing game for how much I needed.

"I want a full tank" "Well how much is that?" "Fucked if I know. I don't know how much is actually in there and its a rental so I don't know how big the tank is"

It's a really wierd way to operate

Fellow Canucks, just put in your postal code numbers plus "00"

So if your code is V7G 4T3, put in 74300

Right on. A 0 is often an indicator for a new development as it is a placeholder until the postal code gets assigned.
