Busy Gas Station

Thirsty cars line up for the sweet taste of fresh fuel falling so splendidly into their tanks, surrendering its million year old offering of energy unto the modern age. Hurried travelers dance like children, speedily accessing the pumps while others who wait vie for the next small space to squeeze next to an open pump. The term "gas station" is mostly used in the US and in Canada, where the fuel is known as "gasoline" or "gas" as in "gas pump". In some regions of Canada, the term "gas bar" is used. Elsewhere in the English-speaking world, mainly in the Commonwealth, the fuel is known as "petrol", and the term "petrol station" or "petrol pump" is used. In the United Kingdom and South Africa "garage" is still commonly used, even though the petrol station may have no service/maintenance facilities which would justify this description. In Japanese English, it is called a "gasoline stand". In Indian English, it is called a petrol pump or a petrol bunk. In some regions of America and Australia, many filling stations have a mechanic on duty, but this is uncommon in other parts of the world.
