What size is the gas tank? Think the petrol station screwed me!

damn, she beat me to it

It doesn't matter about US/Imperial gallons, we all have 85 litre tanks. The problem is possibly that the indicator is neither calibrated nor linear nor does it go from 0 to 80 litres - all that considered the way to check is to compare fills (fill up with the same amount next time at a different station and see where the needle points). Saying that a Tesco station was short 'changing' customers for weeks before it was discovered.

Aren't pumps calibrated by weights and measures - if calibration seals are broken they're in big trouble

My needle dances around quite a bit. I know there is a fix for this (sending unit replacement) but it just doesn't bother me that much.

The pump calibration could be off. I had the opposite happen when I lived in FL. The pump was showing less than you were getting. You could fill up at that pump with mid grade for around $2. I used to go there to fill up all the time. It took the gas station at least a month before they figured out. shawn

Fill up for $2 dollars, yea, 40 years before the VX was ever invented
