We all know that frequently gas stations cut their gas with cheaper stuff here to increase profits, but has anybody experienced fudging the dials so the pump dispenses less gas than what is shown?
I ask because I believe (can't swear) that my car has a 10 gallon tank. (93 Honda Accord) At least I have never been able to stuff more than 10 gallons into it, even bone dry. Yesterday I asked the pump guy to fill it up, then had to ask him to stop as the meter read 11.5 gallons and the fuel guage was just over half. I asked him if he was going to get that fixed or keep stealing for a bit longer, and he threw his hands up and went into a convulsive denial seizure - but I have been suspecting several gas stations in Santiago of doing this for some time now, this is just the first time I "caught" one.
Anybody else had similar experiences? BTW, this was the Shell station on 27 de Febrero, not the big one near Turbi Motors but the smaller one near the old Ochoa store.
