I see the occasional stain at a gas station that might be spilled gasoline, but it tends to be a few drops. I have occasionally had the filler hose drip a drop or two as I am replacing it on the pump. The only time I have ever encountered a large-scale spill was the time, years ago, that someone had left the hose handle in the latched-open position, so that it started spewing gasoline as soon as I flipped up the lever to select the fuel type.

Selective blindness? California's not exactly been an exception when I've been there.

Lived there until I was 32, and pumped enough gas just for myself to drive 300,000 miles.

Yea, there are shitty stations, but usually that is a function of the neighborhood, not the pumps.

Or it is an issue with the maintenance of the cars (leaking oil and fluids, which happens a lot) -again not really an issue of people spilling at the pumps.

My mother has lived there her whole life (60+), and I don’t ever see her car with a gasoline spill stain around her filler-cap door.

yea, it’s anecdotal, but it’s my impression.

I’d worry more about the spills in the bathroom…. Those seem more hazardous ><
