I listened to a chap in Morrisons the other day saying the pump was wrong, he was insistent and wanted to speak to the manager, I was just a customer so I paid and left as you do. MrsCC mentioned that our local Morrisons pumps were only giving around 16 ltrs for £20.00 worth of unleaded fuel so if my workings are right that's about 0.50p short for every £20.00 refill and then I see this post on FB tonight which might explain things. It was taken at a BP garage yesterday but who's to say it's not happening at other fuel stations, so from now on I'll be checking that first litre and the costs just be be sure I'm being charged the correct amount. BP garage on Huntingdon road, Girton, Cambridgeshire.

Super is £1.25 here, £1.20 for Unleaded / £1.24 for the dark juice.
I thought all pumps were checked once a year by the "fair measure" brigade?

Couldn't the fuel pump above be explained by rounding? Not sure how they work but I would assume:
If 1.0049 litres were dispensed at 123.9p, then that would be £1.24507 and the pump would round to £1.25?

Dear Neil,
As you dont care about fuel cost's, would you like to open an account with us?
It's very easy,just send a cheque (min £500) to us and you get a FREE fuel card to use at all our petrol stations.
If you have any further questions please dont hesitate to ask after we have cashed your first payment.
Regards Miss Sainsbury.

Each litre is £1.23 and the petrol is dispensed at 1/100 of a litre, each 100th is 1.23p
Therefore £1.25 could be more than 1litre but less than 1.01 litres.
Happy

.01 litre would not round up 2 pence.

Tried this last night at the local Shell. 1 litre gave 1.21 (currently 120.9 p/l) so then put in 10 litres and this was 12.09 so there pumps are correct +1 Although I used our local Asda filling station.

I topped up the truck and held it at 100 litres. It was correct.
