Welcome to my world! You get used to it!Being laid up with a nasty cold is annoying. I currently have the attention span of a squirrel and the concentration of a goldfish.
Please elaborate. Do you mean that for example one pump has Diesel/E5/E10 while a different pump has E5/E10/Super Plus with discrete nozzles? If so then it's just the way the pipes are laid out from the underground tanks. Often when the fuel station is older it has been built when less types of fuel were available so they have just two or three tanks per pump. Now that there are more than three different types of fuel they have to choose which type of fuel they offer on which pump. I know that in many (if not all?) fuel stations in the US you get one nozzle per pump and you can choose which type of fuel you want, right?Why do they have different types of fuel depending if you’re closer or farther from the store/cashier?
Because not every car/engine/fuel system can handle E10 since Ethanol is more aggressive towards fuel lines and so on than gasoline. According to an FAQ on the Mazda website MX-5 NA and NB shouldn't be fueled with E10.Also, why have e10 95 AND e5 95? Pick one for fucks sake.

Bonus tip: in Germany fuel prices usually are lowest on Tuesdays in the evening between about 18:00h and 21:00h. Of course the prices vary throughout the day as well, but even in the least expensive hours of the other days it's still more expensive than on Tuesdays in the evening.
On top of what @Eye-Q said, there are no mixing dispensers like in the US. The different types really are different tanks with different pipes.German fuel stations.
Why do they have different types of fuel depending if you’re closer or farther from the store/cashier? I hate getting to a crowded station, then realizing all I have is more expensive fuel and not the cheapest e10.
Also, why have e10 95 AND e5 95? Pick one for fucks sake.
Typically nowadays it's 95E5, 95E10, 98ormoreE5, diesel, and often unicorn-flavoured diesel... and I rarely see five-hose dispensers, so you won't get every flavour at every position. For example, a four-position Shell might have 95E10, 95E5, diesel at every position but both unicorn-flavoured vpower variants only get two positions each, clearly marked as such.That's interesting, our nozzles are indivudually plumbed but we always had a higher selection of fuels. Before unleaded it would be 2-Star, 4-Star and Diseasel. 2-Star was cheap weasel piss for cars like my old Land Rover with less compression than flight socks.
Then it became 4-Star leaded, Unleaded and Diseasel. Lead-Replacement took over from 4-Star and now it's E10 95/E5 98/Diseasel on every station at pretty much every forecourt.
what is this insanity, you ICE people have more than one fuel? isn't that confusing as hell having to remember and figure it out?
weirdly enough, I actually have not seen that argument made in favour of EVs yet. just goes to show how used to five different fuels we've all gotten... up to the point that we get confused when one's missing
Well, at least in terms of different dispensers EVs have gasoline cars beat with anything from 2kW to 350kW, AC and DC, single-phase two-phase three-phase, renewable ("premium") and regular... and that's without considering different plugs, those seem mostly solved in Europe.what is this insanity, you ICE people have more than one fuel? isn't that confusing as hell having to remember and figure it out?
