Comic by Ben Jennings.
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”.
I thought that was a racist caricature at first
The white guy is plotting by telling this fact, so the black guy can be confused and then the white guy will strike and steal his money for the fuel. Probably.

What's with the pump colors? Are they like that in some countries?
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
Green is petrol
Black is diesel
Others are random shit like premium
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.
Some engines require it yes, but it's still the same fuel and mixing in a tiny bit of regular with premium is not the same as mixing a little bit of diesel with premium.
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.
Green should be cheese and onion.
That's a really good point 😳
In Canada diesel is usually yellow
Omg yellow is I guess what we'd call eco fuel, usually e85, but it's not really widespread, depending on where you live you may never see e85 fuel
