Just a wee warning of something I was almost caught out with yesterday.
I went to put gas in the car and I pulled up at the pump, went in and prepaid, came back out, lifted the green pump as I was remembering that most cars were petrol and I had a diesel back at home.
Strange, the pump didn't fit into the filler nozzle.
It took me a couple of minutes (well not quite) to twig that the green pumps were the diesel ones and the black were the petrol, completely opposite of back home.
Thankfully I couldn't get it to work and this was at Racetrak, so I don't know if this is a common colouring, but it is something to watch as it could have been an expensive mistake!!
