If we are going to travel, planning is essential. Among other issues, we have to be clear about the itinerary: what is the most appropriate route, where we can stop to rest and in which area to refuel. If we are able to anticipate all these issues, our trip will be more enjoyable and we will not waste more time than desired.
However, if we have to improvise and look for a gas station to refuel, we can use some tricks that will save us possible losses of time.
In a video posted on his account, tiktoker @barpey_ promises an "infallible trick to know if a gas station is on the highway or on a detour." He has dubbed it "Fernando Alonso's trick." You just have to look at the distance indicated on the blue sign for the exit. "When he says 500 or 1000 meters, it indicates that the gas station is next to the road," he says.
On the other hand, "when it indicates 750 or 1,250 meters, you have to go much further away to get" to the gas station. This means that we will deviate more and lose a little more time on our trip.
Many users of this social network have appreciated the advice. "I think it's one of the best they've given me," one of them said. "I didn't know that. It's appreciated!" continues another. There are users who directly give a complementary instruction: "The trick is whether you put the exit number or not."
