Gas pump gloves

On our fall 2009 Europe visit, we found that many gas stations had boxes with plastic gloves for use when pumping gas. Good idea!

Often when fueling is finished, the automatic shutoffs are so abrupt that several droplets come back out at your hand. Or sometimes a little fuel is on the handle from the prior user. Most cars in Europe use diesel, and it’s tough to get that smell off your hands.

For that and health reasons, the disposable gloves are supplied at each pump. Much cleaner!
