About refueling

When a car rental company gives you a car, it's full of oil, so when you return the car, it's better to be full of oil. If you're not satisfied, you'll have to pay nearly twice the price. Therefore, it is generally recommended that before filling the airport, filling the petrol station near the hotel can be done. Generally, the city center of the United States will be about 50 kilometers from the airport , and the oil will run for 50 kilometers again . The oil meter will still be full of oil. Some companies may need to provide the last refueling receipt. After refueling, pay attention to keep the receipt.

The cost of oil in the United States varies from state to state. Each town is different, but there is not much difference. The general city is slightly more expensive, and the suburbs are a little cheaper. Generally rented cars can add 85 or 87 oil, Americans call this oil reguler, the purity of this oil is equivalent to 90 domestic . The cheapest time I came across was $ 1.99 a gallon, and the most expensive was $ 4.26 a gallon. Converted into China's billing method is about 3-6 yuan a liter or so, in fact, it includes the highway tax and fees. Therefore, the freeway in the United States does not charge a fee. The principle is how many roads to run and how much taxes and fees are collected. This is reflected in fuel consumption.

Self-help refueling and counter refueling methods

Self-help refueling:

The first step is to insert a bank card in front of the dispenser. The screen prompts you to quickly remove the card and then verify the bank card authorization. Some need to enter the zip code of 5 meters, some do not need. But what if China's zip code is 6 ? Enter the first 5 digits.

Here we talk about the United States bank card authorization system, are removed after the card, and then operate. There will never be a problem of forgetting the card in the machine and causing the card to be taken away or stolen. In order to avoid this problem, China Merchants Bank has to enter a password for each step of the ATM operation. If the card is left in the machine and someone wants to take away your payment, you need to enter the password. If you lose, you can't take it. This has played a certain role in safety and security.

The second step, after successful verification of the credit card, according to the prompts, take down the fuel gun and insert it into the fuel tank mouth of the car.

The third step is to choose the type of oil, 87 , 90 , 93. Some of the oil dispensers are different oils with different refuelling guns, but most of them are refuelling guns. After selecting the oil type, you can refuel it.

The fourth step, after the oil is full, the machine will automatically detect and automatically stop. At this time, you can still add some oil to it, but it is not recommended. Unless you want to add fuel in accordance with the fixed amount of the payment, or add an integer to the counter's cash refueling, the counter is easy to find money.

The fifth step, put the fuel gun back in place, cover the lid of the car tank. At this point, the receipt is basically printed, and you can leave with your receipt.

Refueling at the counter:

If the credit card verification is unsuccessful, it is necessary to choose the method of refueling at the counter. There are two ways to refuel at the counter, one is to deposit a certain amount of money, for example, say 100 US dollars, and then go to refuel, after the end of the added counter, the counter will return unused money back to you. If you use a card, you return to the card. If it is cash , you return to cash . Using a credit card sometimes asks you to show an ID with Photo , which is a passport for us. Under normal circumstances, add a $ 50 deposit of about 10 gallons of oil is enough. 10 gallons of running about 400 kilometers is no problem.

Another way to add fuel to the counter is to add a specified amount. Based on the oil gauge display, you can roughly estimate how much oil you need and how much it will cost. Give money directly.

Both methods tell the cashier at the counter the number of the station where your car is located .

The United States has a lot of refueling companies. Just choose. The gas station has a small supermarket. You can buy some souvenirs to eat and drink, and a free toilet. Gas stations near Las Vegas will surely have a gambling machine.

You may encounter strange beggars as you refuel. For example, one time I met a rice man who was growing up and was about to borrow a few dollars from me, saying that he had no money to refuel. At the beginning, I really didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I was busy or not. Because the Mi people encountered along the way are very nice . I said you waited and waited until I finished adding oil. When I came out of the counter, I discovered that this buddy was asking for money from another person. The rice countryman said, " I'm sorry," and I learned to be a bird. But he did not harass me again. In fact, I later thought that if it were a normal person, I would give a few dollars.

When you are tired of driving, you can park your car at the parking spot of the gas station. You can lock the door in the car, open the ventilation, and then take a nap to restore your strength.

The longest road I ever traveled was when a person drove from San Francisco to Seattle, where they had been open for 14 hours in a row , with several breaks in the middle. In order to refresh myself, I drink coke and coffee, but in the later period I no longer use it. I must sleep and rest.

Later, when I was talking to a classmate at New York University on the issue of functional drinks, she recommended me iblue, a bag-packed, refreshing beverage. She said that she had been drinking since the college entrance examination and was a green, safe and healthy functional beverage. Its main ingredient is Guarana. And sent me a few. Used along the way, it works well.

Back to the domestic Baidu took a look at Guarana, Taobao, and found that there are domestic, and there are fakes, this kind of thing is not like clothing, can not map cheap, you must buy authentic, otherwise you do not know what to drink, Loss of refreshment. The final choice is the product of bhip.taobao.com this shop.

It is not just for driving. It can be used to work and study fatigue.

It is usually recommended to take a break after driving 100-150 kilometers, otherwise most people will not suffer from the lumbar spine. There will be a restarea on the US highway. There are only restrooms, vending machines for drinks, and no supermarkets.

U.S. regulation

The difference between the U.S. regulation and China is that they are moving in the right direction. In fact, during the Republic of China, China moved in the left direction. Like the British Hong Kong, Chiang Kai-shek’s government was later subsidized by the U.S. military armaments. The U.S. military did not adapt to driving in China, so later in 1945 , Chiang Kai-shek made China comprehensive and the United States. Into the track, changed to the right direction. So when you look at the movies on the beach in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, if you see that the steering wheel of the car before 1945 is on the left, it is a serious disrespect for history. (Oh, it's up again!)

Some points to note about driving in the United States are:

If there is no traffic light intersection, there will be a STOP sign. STOP really needs to stop physically, not slowly. There are often police officers hiding the tickets near the intersection. After Stop , follow the principle of first come first.

The parallel English is called merge . When you test your driving license in the United States, you need to look back, and not just look at the rearview mirror, because the backview mirror is blind.

When the traffic light turns right, if the intersection has a white sign and the red light can't turn right NoTurn on Red , then you can't turn it. If you don't write, then you can slow cornering when there is no horizontal vehicle passing by.

There are routes on the highway that allow passengers to drive when there are more than two passengers. If there is only one passenger in the car, the traffic police may catch the fine. Fines vary from state to state and range from $ 200 to $ 500 . CarpoolLanes or HOV Lanes are written on the road signs . Some brands will also write time limits for this situation. Usually two or more people can take this route.

Most states in the US require drivers and passengers to wear safety belts. Children under 12 cannot sit in the front row. Specially small children must sit in safety chairs.

When you come across a police stop, you can't get off. Please sit in the seat, roll down the window, put your hands on the steering wheel, wait for the police to come and ask. If the police get off the train and think that there is an attempt to escape, it may be shot by the police.

Most Americans are speeding. According to Americans, it is impolite for others to run at the speed limit without exceeding a bit on the highway. Under normal circumstances does not exceed 20% of the speed limit , traffic police generally do not care. Therefore, it is advisable not to lead the highway but to follow it. Generally, there is no problem.

Most of the high-speed speed limit 75 Mai, but many people will go to 100 or even more, there will be the possibility of being caught by the traffic police, so the United States will sell the electronic dog, specifically measuring the radar on the police car. The brand is called " Valentine One " and the English version of "ValentineOne" sells for $ 350 . A lot of people will find it expensive, but if you know that the speeding fine in the United States is a 500-1,000 US dollar, you will find the money can be spent. One investment will benefit you throughout your life.

From Los Angeles to San Francisco , the roads of No. 1 and No. 5 are spacious, and they are very cool to run. Therefore, there are often car racing parties that can run to more than 160 miles. What can the police do? So helicopters will be called to catch speeding, which is a common phenomenon in the United States.

In any case, see the yellow school bus must avoid, the US school bus has a "Stop" sign, if the car stops at a certain place and the brand pops up, the back car cannot overtake and must stop. Next, because there may be students in front of the school bus will cross the road.

Parking charges

Parking is generally more expensive. On-street parking depends on signs, see what cars are allowed to stop, which days are allowed to stop, when they are allowed to stop, allow a few hours of parking, and so on. In general, the white parking area on the roadside can be used. Red, yellow, green, blue, and other colors cannot stop.

There are two types of parking payment systems. One is a pay station, which can use credit cards, banknotes and coins. One is a meter that can use a dedicated parking card or a 25- cent coin.

The length of time for parking is based on demand. Normally, 2 hours is appropriate. If it is a pay station, a receipt will be printed. The receipt must be placed in the front window of the car so that the road police can check to see what time you can stop. The payment method for a pay station is the same as for a gas station, except that you need to choose parking time.

If it is a meter, it is a countdown and there is no receipt. Sometimes you may be lucky, the last person may have a lot of time, and you can continue to renew. Only the majority of meters can't use credit cards. They can only invest 25 cents, so they should be prepared for more. There is a location for a card on the meter. This card is a dedicated meter recharge card. Our visitors generally do not have to use this kind of card. Credit cards cannot be inserted.

Most of the city on Saturday and Sunday parking is free, and some cities after 19:00 is free, so the fee paid to 19:00 on it. In fact, you can not earn much cheaper, because most of the shops and restaurants are 20:00 closed.

If it is overtime, the police may be issued a ticket. I was delayed for 15 minutes at Berkeley and I was fined 43 . Road police sometimes ride bicycles and sometimes open a very small traffic van. Stroll around.

Regarding parking, we need to say one more thing. In San Francisco and Seattle, parking spaces are on a half-slope. When parking, the front wheels must hit the road to prevent the car from rolling when starting. Instead of parking, the police can also open tickets.

There are also friends in San Fan parking, the direction of the front opposite everyone, was road police opened the ticket, the reason is not to maintain the same formation with everyone.

About navigation

With regard to GPS , there must be, but renting at a car rental company is relatively expensive, and the daily rent is around $ 10 . And buy one for yourself, cheap GPS less than 100 knives. The latest model with a little better is about 200 knives. The brand suggests GARMIN , other brands, online children's shoes indicate that there have been problems. I compared most of the brands and the final choice was GARMIN2565R . Of course 2555 is also a good choice, the price will be cheaper. There are also upgrades to the 35 series.

Amazon or COSTCO buy will be much cheaper, domestic Taobao the same model at least expensive on the 400-800 or so, but some domestic businesses will provide multinational maps do not charge, it is cost-effective. And also provide the United States National Park's positioning information points, the United States all Outlets GPS positioning, as well as the positioning of the No. 1 highway, it is more value.

Of course, this kind of positioning point's road book information can be done by oneself, the concrete method I will separate and arrange the post again.

Driving recorder can choose, you can record the video of the down car at any time, the camera will shoot the video in front of the car. This is a more effective method for porcelain touch in China. In the case of an accident, the country can use video and traffic police to explain who is responsible to avoid confusion.

The TMC antenna that can receive traffic conditions cannot be used by the United States because the United States did not open this service. Domestic car can be used to see how to detour when encountering traffic jams. This system is a fluorescent card on the road in Beijing. It shows that the road is congested and uses the same set of radio signals.

Rearview mirror system to the United States is not recommended. Because it is necessary to fasten the camera head to the position of the license plate of the trunk, and to use the 12V power supply to connect the taillights , the operation is complicated. This system can be installed on the domestic own car for reversing the use of complex roads.
