Most people never notice this little added trick the oil companies have.

You pay, then dispense. As an example;

You are going to buy $20.00 of fuel. As you approach the $20 dollar reading start filling very very SLOW. Stop at exactly $20.00 !! You have now paid for $20, VERY VERY slow, keep dispensing and you will see the true amount of fuel dispensed that you just paid for. Then it clicks to the next cent. Most people, including myself stop at the $20, but in reality you did not get your full $20 dollars worth. Why, you cant always stop filling exactly before the next cent clicks up.

Ok, that tiny amount does not truly hurt me, but think of the millions of gallons bought and not dispensed in this country over a year. The oil companies can re sell that small fraction you paid for and did not dispense and get paid twice for it. Twice, no, it just keeps building on itself.

Just another oil company deal to get more money.

Next time you fuel, check it out, play with the pump, and you will see it.
