Forecourt is the part of a petrol station/garage where the pumps are. It is common usage.
I once qualified (!) as a Senior Forecourt Salesman and had a badge...no, I didn't sell forecourts. But I did learn tyre fitting and other stuff.
Pump island sounds like somewhere Club 18-30 would advertise "special" holidays!
Usually we would say LP or propane. I wouldn't call the container in my backyard a gas tank. Even technically it isn't a gas tank although some liquid propane does enter the gaseous phase.
I cannot disagree. From the viewpoint of many US businesses, the UK was just a convenient door into the EU. Lacking that the Republic of Ireland will do. It's already an attractive country.
I see no reason for Europe to get caught up in the US hysteria about Russia. I was hoping Trump would result in a better relationship but leftover cold warriors are deeply entrenched in our government. I would rather see a good relationship with Putin than with some of the scum we insist on promoting but I'm neither king or president.
The tank in your car is even less of a gas tank!
Why would anyone obey a speed limit? It's just a number on a sign.
The thing is it's legal.
Why do you answer every one of my pots if you consider me a troll?
So you call a liquid a gas then get confused when you actually have a gas. Please learn basic English.
Around here the pumps are sort of an afterthought to the casino and convenience store. I think there might be one actual garage left in town.
When I graduated college I briefly thought about that as a career path but that was fifty years ago. Later in life I thought about buying an old school garage, not as a business but for my own use. Two bays, a hydraulic lift, and an office space that could be converted into an apartment. What's not to like? Unfortunately, most come with leaking in-ground tanks that are an environmental disaster that costs a fortune to make right.
I was wondering how Czechoslovakia was a colony until I realised Tata is not Tatra
According to that we were calling it gasoline before you were calling it petrol. Learn from your betters.
Speeding tickets? This state didn't have a daytime speed limit until about 15 years ago but most people didn't do much more than 80 anyway. Even at 80 the fuel economy in my car drops from the high 30's to 29-30 mpg and the bikes aren't much better. Beside that a bike at 90 often isn't the most pleasant ride in the world.
I didn't say that. I said I enjoy trolling you. It's a more productive way to work off my aggression than the time honored American method of shooting up a gay nightclub.
Not even a little bit. Tata has their fingers in many pies.
That was a good idea that didn't pan out.
There's an old garage 1 mile from me. It's not served petrol for the 17= years I've lived here, although the pumps were never removed. It appea= rs to have one man and one lift, I take my car there sometimes. It's an= old bloke who appears to do it more for fun than profit, my last bill w= as =A310 for repairing an exhaust.

Gasoline I accept, but making a shorter word which is actually another contradictory word is stupid.
Get a satnav with the camera locations.
Funny how most bikers frequently go over 100. You oughta get a newer bike.
You're just jealous because calling petrol 'pet' would be rather stupid although I suppose it would make sense for the petcock on a motorcycle. 'turn the c*ck to shut off the pet.'
Never spent much time on a bike, have you? 100 mph with gusty side winds will keep you busy -- if it doesn't blow you into the path of that lorry full of Peek Freans.
