Gas her up.

[Anonymous]

Is this understanding correct?
1. gas up the car - US
2. fill up the car - UK
Also which is more natural:
1. Gas (fill) HER up with regular.
or
2. Gas (fill) IT up with regular.
Thank you.

I would say that all of them are used here (USA).

Hey! It's good to see you here!

If you don't mind, how did you find this forum (I thought you were Delphi based)?

Regardless, welcome to UsingEnglish! ;-)

In BE, we don't use the word 'gas' for car fuel, so 'gas her up' wouldn't make that much sense. ;-)

So what do you say in the UK?

Normally it would be petrol or diesel, although the DVLA do use gas in the driving test. ;-)

Thanks, Red!

DVLA = Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (UK)

Right?

We would sometimes say "Fill 'er up" ('er being her - the car) :wink:

Apparently, that is because it is one syllable and so is safer in instructing learner drivers. ;-)
