I caught a sandwich delivery guy doing something similar.
If you paid with a twenty, he slipped it under the top ten pound note then tried to insist you paid with the ten.

Go there and try the change raising scam on him...
Whenever I hand over a large note to someone I always call out what it is as I do.
some garages i go to i get the same amount of fuel i get every two days, and do the same amount of mileage during those two days, even though the price per litre is the same i get less fuel, im sure some rig it up so it gives u less fuel per litre even though the price per litre is the same, if that makes sense
report your suspicions to trading standards, although I suspect its just a lower quality fuel.
It's seems a regular trick in certain outlets in London to short change on a £20 - so I tend to put my initials on the queen side left hand top corner which came in handy as it happened twice on the same day just before Xmas. It adds comedy value with the excuses they use when you catch them out.
it can also be down to the ethanol content of the fuel. less ethanol = more MPG. however high percentage of ethanol can make the fuel cheaper.
swings and roundabouts.

To avoid the note 'confusion', if it's a small amount and you've got a £20, say to them "I've only got a £20. Is that OK?" when you hand the note over. Same with £10 or £50.
