Do you use the gas pump to physically select the fuel grade or do you use your hand to select it?

DD is learning to drive. I’ve noticed more now than ever before that some people tap the grade with the actual pump and I always was taught to use my hand to press it.

Visual for those who may be confused:

Do you use the tip of the pump:


To select this:


Or do you use your hand?

Anyone who isn't an insane germophobe uses their hand.

I use my hand.

I think maybe this thread is going to be legendary?

Somehow I made it 54 years of life and 38 years of driving without knowing this is a thing.

I use my hand. Like a normal person.

Is this really a thing? I don't like being obsessed with germs. You become like Trump.

I often use my knuckle, but I have hand sanitizer in the to uses afterwards regardless.

Here we goooooooooo!

Normal people use their hands. It's a button. I usually have the gas spigot thing IN the TANK when I start pressing all the buttons.

Also, prediction, we'll get to Page 3 of this thread and someone will helpfully tell us about the arrow that indicates which side of your car the tank is. Like we were all born yesterday.

Hand.

Why would you wipe gas on a button?

This is like when people freak out about people using their foot to depress a public toilet handle. That makes more sense.

I use my tiny hand
To grasp a diet coke
And the diet coke makes contact. The diet coke makes contact.

I use the back of my hand, on my knuckles. I'm an insane germaphobe but it wouldn't have ever occurred to me to use the pump.

I select using my feet. Just like how I flush toilets in public toilets.

I select the appropriate grade with a brief head but.

I have a finger pointer doodad from Acme.

I have a house manager that makes sure my vehicles are gassed up.
