Gas Stations/Petrol Stands

Follow the station attendant’s instructions. Hand them either cash or card, and let them know how much you would like to use. If you would like a full tank, ask for “mantan.”

Select either cash (現金) or credit card (クレジットカード). Many places only take cash. There are typically three kinds of gas available: regular (レギュラー), high octane (ハイオク), and diesel oil (軽油). Be sure to double-check which kind your car uses to prevent damage to the car. Insert cash or card and press the confirm button. Fill up, and take your receipt and change.
