The author seems to concentrate too much on European grades and ratings of gasoline. A more complete discussion would mention the AKI metric commonly used ih the United States. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.216.122.126 ( talk • contribs) 19:34, 22 September 2005.
The article does not explain storage mechanisms used by filling station franchisees - underground, tower silo, etc. Also, no mention regarding typical refill frequency contracts.
![]() | This discussion was listed at Wikipedia:Move review on 26 November 2022. The result of the move review was procedural close – RM closer reclosed as noted below. |
Per move review, I have agreed to re-close this RM as, other than move 3, the results for move's 1, 2 & 4 as : no consensus. For obvious reasons which I had failed to perceive, this should have been the original result, and for that, I do apologize. Judekkan ( talk) 19:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Pages moved. Despite the divided discussion, not a single editor provided any source or statistic that demonstrates the WP:COMMONNAME. All arguments were based either on some kind of personal view, or experience, and this. The only individual that has demonstrated the common name happens to be the RM initiator via Google Ngram.

– Who even says "filling station"? According to the article, American English uses "gas station" while British English uses "petrol station". Now, in addition to this article being written in American English, per the Google Books Ngram Viewer "gas station" has been the most common name among the three since 1970, and this has apparently also been the case for British English since the 2000s. There are more entries on Google Scholar for " gas station" than " petrol station", and there are more Google News results for " gas station" than " petrol station".

To anyone watching, I disagree with this move and have started a discussion at User_talk:Judekkan. I will look to move to review after this. Thanks. YorkshireExpat ( talk) 07:57, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
