Shell petrol stations.

They had a points reward for getting close to a round pound, could be making it more difficult

£30 or above.

I found a post on saving money forum from 2010 which describes exactly what I've been experiencing. It's just very strange.

The reason of posting this thread was to see if any others have experienced similar.

Though as usual you get the "y DnT u FilUp tHe TaNk?" responses.

Petrol stations enforce the 1p? The two I use don't seem to....

To be fair, it's a fair response.

Doing what you do just wastes more of your time, it won't save you any money.

Possible just a rounding issue?

As an example, at 139.9, 14.29 litres comes to 19.992, which rounds to 19.99 but 14.30 litres comes to 20.006, which rounds to 20.01...

You want to bang the Indian guy (who is always there no matter what time. Works 120 hours per week) behind the counter.

LMAO those Indian's sure know how to work! It's like that at our local petrol station's, all of them. Indian's must have a monopoly!

wouldnt trust petrol stations as far as i could throw them,

one of our local ones had a major card skimming racket going for a while

i always add 20litres. if you fill it right up arent you just paying to carry around extra fuel where the weight makes you burn fuel faster at the start?

 

[Simon]

Brim it you weirdo. Filling up with fuel is one thing I hate.

This thread is amazing.

This is my Mother-in-law's opinion, but she is an idiot.

 

[Simon]

I bet she sits there idling whilst waiting for a pump to free up. Probably also ‘nips out’ to get fuel too

Download Shell Fill Up and Go app, set maximum transaction value to £20 and use that from now on.

App is great, in and out and no small chat with the creepy staff

Why not put in 5 litres in that case? Or 1 litre?

Balance. 1 or 5l might last a day or so. 20 May be a few weeks...

 

[Howard]

I dont know anyone who does it.

Me either. I can't get my head around why anyone would bother unless it's not their car.

 

[vanpeebles]

I just brim mine full, last one was £107 quid and it lasted two months. I hate filling up

I’ll tell my boss this, must be costing them a fortune with all these 550 litre tanks we have....

 

[Hades]

I've never had a problem. I can always get it to the penny I want.

It's great. First few times I used it, I was actually a bit nervous - there's no interaction at all, I thought the staff in the kiosk might think that I was driving off without paying
