I was shell shocked when the gas station attendant presented me a bill for 43 litres of petrol!! He was wrong on many counts.
- Honda city has a tank capacity of 42 litres!! There's no way you can fill up more than that.
- I drove the car to the station - so obviously it wasn't empty. Actually it wasn't even running in reserve petrol which is a capacity of 7 litres - but just for the sake of argument.
Thankfully I had asked for a bill or else I would never know about this daylight robbery. And luckily he had made a bill for 43 litres - else I couldn't even argue. As it is, we trust the attendant and don't monitor the meter - sometimes because of our laziness, sometimes because the car is positioned so ahead of the meter that you can't actually see it. However, I have learnt my lessons now.
This happened at the Devidas gas station near Mount Carmel college and I would suggest anyone reading this blog to avoid the same.
