Whats the most Petrol you've 'Stolen'

o1s1n

My mam was filling the car up the other day and put €40.00 worth in. Went up to the counter to pay and the guy goes -

'That'll be €67.00 please'

The feckin eejit had been looking at the wrong dial on the pump.

Well that's her story, I'd rather think she was trying to steal €17.00 worth of petrol. :pac:

Stopped at a filling station in New Ross today and noticed they have an automated recording that says "Any petrol or diesel ?" every time the till is opened.

That would get very annoying for the staff.

I've only once driven off and for to fill up. Went back the next day and paid.

I typically pay by credit card but if I pay by cash and I go a cent or two over then I'll hand that it with the notes.
They're doing me a favour.
It's hard to get rid of 1 and 2 cent coins.
They seem to remain in the ashtray forever.

FFS, if you filled up twice a week and scammed 2 cent a go you'd manage to rake in a cool €1 a year from your nefarious activities.

But over 10,000 years or so there is savings to be made. Can get that deposit for a house.

How hard is throwing them in the bin.

Carrying €50 worth of petrol? Rookie mistake. Wait untill you've stripped out the heavy carpet and excess seats, then'll you'll really see some weight-milage savings.

switch to a horse and sulky and save a fortune.... just leave the horse to refuel on your neighbour's lawn

What about poorly calibrated pumps? I highly doubt they all distribute the exact amount of fuel, very possible that punters get scammed out of 1c or 2c in some places

my girlfriend was filling her car once and as she took the pump out someone startled her by asking for the time, pump gets thrown upwards, soaks girlfriend and stranger in petrol. ha.
