Gas prices falling...
("Dylan Smith" wrote)
What's the fuel for cars called in the US? This is all rather addling...
By the normal populace, 'gas', which is short for 'gasoline'. By the
aviation community, car fuel is called 'mogas'.
'mogas' = motor gas
For car drivers, in the USA:
* They're called gas stations, or filling stations.
* When filling up our cars, we say "the gas pump."
* (Sometimes the term fuel pumps is used - mostly by truckers and at
industrial sites)
* Fuel pumps are the hardware inside the car's gas tanks.
* The red, portable, 5 gallon plastic container is called a gas can.
* Cars have gas caps.
* We call it gas mileage or fuel mileage = mpg
