That is my point! I only need regular gas in my bikes, but some of 
these attendant's don't want to listen and try to pump premium into my bikes.
The last time this happened with a new guy at the station I regularly 
get gas from. He handed me the pump, hit the premium button and 
walked away. I just reached over, hung the hose back up and paddled 
the bike to the next open pump where I started the pump myself. I had 
about a gallon in the bike when the attendant comes racing over 
jabbering in some dialect.
Finally he, switches back into english and says "you cannot pump gas, 
its illegal for you".
I said, "and Its illegal for you to rip me off. I said Reg-u-lar Gas, 
three times and you still pressed the premium button. If you don't 
like me pumping the grade of gas I asked you for, then listen to what 
I say. And if you don't want to open your ears and listen, go get a 
cop to arrest me."

About then the Manager of the station, came outside to see what the 
yelling was about. He knows me and knows that I buy plenty of gas 
from his station, so he starts screaming at the attendant. The 
attendant shoots me a nasty look and slinks off to the other island 
to tend some woman in her BMW 5 series. I notice that his hand is on 
the regular button until she yells at him "premium".
