DIESEL RIP OFF

so.....I had to look up ullage , having never used the word before in my life.

find out it's pertinant to Land Rovers...

something like the amount of fluid leakage from a known container.....being one definition

I brought 150 liters of diesel a few days ago. Yhe bowser price was 1.61. When I checked the receipt a few days later the actual charge was 1.619. Which is basically 1 cent per litre extra. Is this legal to be able to do that?

Funny you say that... I fueled up today, and noticed the 3 decimal point business too. Pump was 1.49, but cost on receipt was $1.485

What's the deal here?

If the minimum is $2.00 what are they going to do, call the police for 50 cents?

They *could* at their discretion.

You enter into an agreement when you fill up as it's written on the pump.

Not worth getting yourself in a lather over...

Should have been 1.62 on the bowser i would think.

Where are you fuelling up guys?

Every pump I've ever used (that's under 20 yrs old) has always been to 3 decimal points...

From the nautical sense -1. The amount of wine or other liquor which has leaked from a cask, rendering the remainder of little worth, & fit only to be thrown away. Damaged goods, particularly in relation to victuals, are commonly know as "ullaged'.
2. A lazy or cack-handed sailor who is of little use in a ship.


Regarding diesel, I'm not clear on one thing. Do some members have bowsers that display only 2 decimal points ie $1.55 , because all I've ever seen is 3 eg $1.55.9 . What annoys me is paying $1.55.9 in Brisbane & seeing $1.51.9 in Gympie. Bob
