I Was Cheated At The Fueling Station. Please Advise Me by Deew22: 1:38am On Feb 29
Hi guys.
yesterday evening, I went to buy fuel cos I want to travel in the next few days.
I had quarter tank already. my tank is 62 liters (Benz c230). so I just bought 30k (44.9 Liters) fuel which should add to the quarter I had to full my tank or very very close to full tank.
I bought at Mobil where I usually buy fuel.

Todays' own was late because it was at closing hour. They had closed already and had very few cars inside and they were trying to serve them and close. I had to beg one of the attendants who instructed the security man to open the gate for me.

while he was serving, others who came with gallons and other containers were declined by the guy, he insisted that it's only cars he sells to.

when it got to my turn, I came down and paid 30k using the POS. their price is 668 Naira per liter. I had calculated it earlier, so I expected 44.91liters. The guy served me, I watched the reading on the machine, it counted from 0 naira to 30K, and the liters also moved from 0 to 44.91 liters as I expected. my eyes were all on the reading so I am sure of this.

when I started my car, my fuel gauge moved only to half tank from the quarter I had earlier. I continued driving thinking it will go up. I got to my destination which is just about half a kilometer away. my gauge is still on half tank. at a point I began thinking my fuel gauge is faulty. but if at all it is faulty, why did it move from quarter to half tank?

I am so confused right now. Is it possible that I have been cheated? How possible is this when my eyes were focused on the reading when my car was being fueled. 30k for fuel is a very huge amount in this economy. is it possible I was served only 15Liters instead of 45 liters? do you have experience working in a fueling station?
I feel so angry right now. please advise me.

Go back to that filling station , locate the attendant that attended to you and use your car to block his pump. Then craze give am very well, insisting you want to see the manager while creating a scene on the station, they will beg u.

One idiot tried that with me sometime and thats exactly what I did, the werey was begging me while returning my fuel.

That's why they didn't serve the guys with gallons so they can get away with this robbery.
