CAA

Is CAA = "Canadian Aile Association" correct?

What does Aile mean?

Canadian Automobile Association

Fuel grades

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.

Storage

The article does not explain storage mechanisms used by filling station franchisees - underground, tower silo, etc. Also, no mention regarding typical refill frequency contracts.

Discussing this move at the closer's talk page

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)

@InfiniteNexus, Jerium, Necrothesp, and YorkshireExpat: In terms of usage in British English a look at the search results on Geograph Britain and Ireland returns 82 for "Gas station" of the 52 shown all but 1 or maybe 2 (both in Ireland) appear to be false positives "Petrol station" returns 4,595 and "Filling station" returns 6,955 from the 58 results shown all appear to be for petrol stations. So while the term "filling station" may be less common in everyday usage it is broader and more global. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:06, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm a little confused on why we were suddenly pinged. The failed RM and MR above occured one year ago, and the page has remained in its current title since. There have been no further developments after that nor attempts to move the page. InfiniteNexus (talk) 20:16, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

It worked out fine, let it go :). YorkshireExpat (talk) 08:16, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Just something I was thinking about but it could be useful in the future if there are anymore RMs. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:29, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Underground filling station

In the large ring road around Marble Arch there was indeed an underground filling station in London, there were others but the one I am thinking of was used by tourist coaches primarily and London taxi cabs running the west end routes.
