gas and go

Fast fuel stop

A gas and go is a quick stop at a filling station just long enough to pump fuel and leave—no browsing inside, no car wash, no lingering: It was just a gas and go; we were back on the highway in five minutes.

The phrase can also describe a type of fuel theft where someone fills up and drives off without paying.
