I filled fuel on the 28th of Feb in the HP petrol bunk on the old Madras road near the Ulsoor bus stop. When I went there, one person asked me for the amount of fuel I need and at the same time another guy asked me about the mode of payment, by the time I gave him my credit card the other person had started filling fuel and the metre was running with Rs 115 on it (I had asked him to fill fuel for Rs 400), I was actually shocked cuz it had not taken that long for me to turn around.
When I asked him about it, he said the metre gets sets to 0 by default. Though I was not convinced I told him that he was supposed to confirm the zero reading and then start filling petrol, I didn't want to argue with him as I had no proof, so I left. Now I have used up all my fuel in a few days with some long rides and have found that he had started filling fuel with the metre set to Rs100. This is a blunder if someone can cheat as much as 25% of the total amount.
So please guys, I request you all to be careful and not use that petrol bunk unless in the case of emergency. This is not the first time it's happening but this was the first time I was able to confirm it as the quantity was a considerable amount. Those guys have a practice of diverting customers by asking them unwanted questions and always have more than one person at each counter.
