Filling gasoline at a service station will be made by
several staff who provide additional assistant service.

They will ask you if you wish to get a full tank of gasoline.

Q: Mantan desuka?  (Would you like a full tank of gas?)

Before you say yes or no, you need to choose the type of
gasoline, regular or high-octane gas.


A: Regular Mantan de onegai shimasu. 
     (full tank of regular gas please.)

                       or

 A: HAIOKU Mantan de onegai shimasu.
    (full tank of HIGH-OCTANE gas please.)


If you wish to get only 2,000 yen worth of gasoline,
then you say:

Regular NISEN-YEN BUN onegai shimasu.
(2,000 yen worth of regular gas please.)

*for the other amount in Japanese please check here.

Payment can be made by credit card at the most of stations.

When you use credit cards issued by oil companies such as
Eneos, Showashell, Mobil, Cosmo and other major companies,
discount of 2-3% will be made at the gas stations under the
oil company of the card issued.  Some cards give you
points everytime you fill your car and you can use those points
to purchase goods at the service station or get discount by
using points.  Gasoline prices in Japan are very expensive
as well as European countries. 
             








  

       





Over recent years, service station without staff
(self service station) is getting popular as it's cheaper than
the others with service staff.
