In case you have never had to put gas in a car by yourself before, here are instructions (I wrote these out for a new driver I know who has cash and a debit card)
1. Pull up to the right side of the pumps.
2. Find the button in the car that opens the outside gas tank cover and push it (if you can't find it look in the index of the owners manual for gas tank or fuel tank or whatever)
3. Unscrew the top of the gas tank
4. Take your debit card and slip it in in and out of the slot on the gas pump. It's usually magnetic strip up and to the left.
5. I haven't used a debit card so I'm not sure here, but you probably have to push a button that says DEBIT and then enter your PIN on the keypad.
6. If at this point it isn't working, find the number on the pump, lock the car and go inside and tell the attendant you want to pay for gas with either a (for example) $20 bill or the debit card. He will ask you what pump number and how much gas you want. If you use the debit card, say "fill it" and if you use the $20, say "$20 worth"
7. Go to the pump, lift the nozzle out of the holder (don't touch the inside lever) and insert it in the gas tank, (just like in Health Class), press the button on the pump that says "Regular" (or 87 octane). The numbers on the pump will go to 0. Squeeze the inside handle to start dispensing gas.
8. You can stop whenever you want or wait for it to stop itself if you told the guy "fill it." If you gave the guy the $20 and you let it keep filling, it will automatically stop at $20.
9. Pull the nozzle out (keep the end pointed away from you, they can drip a bit) and put it back in the pump.
10. Screw the tank cover back on until it clicks (don't worry if it clicks more than once, it's supposed to) and close the outside cover
11. The display will ask if you want a receipt and you can say yes or no.
