Where are the self-service pumps?
'Self-service' is used as-is in Italian, pronounced approximately 'SELF-ser-vis'.
Ask when you want to use the cheaper self-service pumps but cannot identify which ones they are in a large station.
'Le pompe' means the pumps. 'Self-service' is used in Italian exactly as in English. Italian stations typically label self-service pumps clearly, but asking an attendant is the quickest way to find them.

At Italian 'self-service' pumps you typically pay at an automatic machine before or after fuelling, depending on the station. Many machines accept both cash and cards. The 'servito' (attended) pumps are always more expensive per litre.
