Two guys standing at the pump at a Shell gas station. The guy at pump 2 holds up the gas pump nozzle to his ear and tells the guy at pump 1 “Apparently, if you hold a Shell pump to your ear you can hear the shareholders laughing at you”.

Yeah. Instead of having buttons for different grades, they just have different pumps. Also looking back at it, one is probably diesel, and one (the green one likely) is eco fuel / ethanol

    Oh okay, here in the US green is always diesel, and the pumps wouldn't be multi-colored like that on the left, they're all solid colors.

    It is required for diesel vs regular but not the different grades. there will always be fuel in the hose between each pump and therefore it will always mix.

    I thought I recalled Premium and Regular being on differ hoses tho. Just from my brief tenure abroad

    Yeah even in the US diesel and E85 (eco fuel / ethanol) have different hoses and different larger nozzle sizes cause they can ruin an engine that doesn’t support them.
