    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?

    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
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
