Most of the cheating is done with customers who come in four wheelers because the person in the car/SUV does not bother to either get out or look at the meter.
- Come out of your vehicle and keep an eye on the Fuel meter from ZERO till the exact amount of what you want to get filled. Never get distracted to any foolish things or questions in between. Ask them to wait untill the filling is done.
- One traditional way of cheating is to start the fueling from the previous person's last reading. If the previous person did a Rs.100 fueling, and if a reset is not done, your fueling will start directly from 100, to 101 .. 102 and so on, so you'll be losing Rs.100 fuel. Always check ZERO on the fuel pump screen.
- Another way these staff cheat is by pressing the 'preset' buttons for Rs.100, Rs.500 or Rs.1000. If you wanted fuel for Rs.500, half way through, they will press the preset button which will show Rs.500 in the display but only half the fuel would be filled. Ask for uneven numbers like Rs.535 or Rs.1385. It reduces the cheating level drastically.
