When I looked at the guy at the pump, he told me that he had filled the petrol and wanted me to verify. I told the cashier that I wanted petrol for Rs.500 and took out the money from my purse and handed it to the cashier. I reset the trip meter and filled petrol at the next petrol pump which was an Indian Oil pump in Pallavaram on the left while going towards Tambaram. Because it was a long trip I decided to check the mileage of my car, so did not fill petrol at a regular pump and waited for the fuel indicator to sync with a marking. Today I went on a 150Km trip to Kanchipuram. I would like to show you some of the real life experiences Īs a human tendency – you will have to look at him or hear him and in those 3-4 seconds, the main attendent will start the meter again and by the time you look at the meter, its somewhere near 300-400, and you feel that the meter has restarted starting from 0, but actually it was just continued from 200 point only. The trick here is that when he says that he is resetting the meter to 0 and moves towards it, at that some moment, another team mate of attendant will disturb you with some question like – “Sir, Cash or Card?”, or “Sir, PUC karana hai kya?”, Or “Sir can you fill up this coupon ?”. Whats the scam here ? The problem is that he never resets the meter to 0, he continues from the Rs 200 point itself and go till Rs 800, so in reality you only get the petrol worth Rs 800, but pay Rs 1,000. He will give a innocent smile and say that he heard Rs 200 and he will fill remaining Rs 800, he resets the meter and fills up another Rs 800 petrol and you pay Rs 1,000 (200+800). When you ask him why he didnt fill up for Rs 1,000. When you ask them to fill petrol for Rs 1,000, the attendant fills up the oil only for Rs 200. You might be loosing a couple of thousands each year because of this scam which probably goes on at each petrol pump. Today I am going to explain a trick employed by Petrol Pump guys which might be costing you a lot of money on a per year basis.
