Italian Gas Stations

While returning a rental car to the Milan airport I found myself temporarily confused, along with others, by an unattended Italian gas station. These are open 24 hours a day — but there is no human present to explain things.

 The instructions were there, but not immediately obvious.

Here’s what to do.  Pull up to a pump.  Look for the kiosk between the pumps.  One enters the pump number and cash (the two I tried didn’t take credit cards).  Then return to your car and the pump should function.
