Rented car in Switzerland: fuel and gas station
I'm about to rent a car to travel in Switzerland and I'm unsure what kind of fuel they use there.
When you rent a car, do they specify what fuel is used or the entire Switzerland uses the same fuel for cars?
And what about refueling at the gas stations:
- In USA for instance, you go inside the shop, pay for a specific amount and the cashier set the pump for that amount of fuel you paid. What is the process used in Switzerland?
- In South America, there is a person who will operate the pump and you can pay that person directly.
How does it work in Switzerland?
