Refueling your car in France

Nowadays, most of the traditional "station service" have closed down. This is due to the supermarket offering gas at discounted prices (usually about 10% cheaper). Most of our gas station are now with credit card machine enabling a 24hours use of the station.
However, since we are in France these machine only accept French credit card. 
Our "Autoroute" (i;.e Highways) will have 24hours station about every  50km.

So when you need to refuel your car :
1 - Select the station by Supermarket for cheaper petrol
2 - Choose to refuel during opening hours (usually 8am to 7pm)
3 - Select the line "pay at the boot" where your credit card will be accepted
4 - Make sure you understand which gas your car will need : A sign might remind you which gas to use. If it says "diesel" you need to put "Gazole" (French translation of Gasoil). You might ask why we say Diesel when we need to refuel with Gazole. Funny French way again !

Voila, you're nearly all set for French Gas station....
