intelligence. Fluid intelligence might help you to quickly recall whether a gas station

help. Crystallized intelligence might help you to draw on past experience of similar
situations to determine if methods used to deal with them would apply here. A long-term memory of the geographic area could help determine the nearest gas
station.
