jeez and what did u do to the attendant ?

No matter what, I come down from the vehicle ask the attendant to clear the reading on the meter before going back to open my fuel tank door. It has been working for me like that.

They can still recall previous sale. It has happened to me before at the same filling station that op was nearly scammed. The dude claimed he had put almost 20 litres in my car which takes roughly 40 litres. My gauge was just below half before started. I saw him wipe the meter before he started. Lol. Those guys are crooks. I have learnt never to take my eyes off the meter. I stop come down, open my fuel filler cap myself, look at your meter and then give you the go ahead. If they ask me "oga how much?". I simply tell them to continue until I tell them to stop. That way they don't even know whether to give me hot air or fuel. Beware of that Mobil.

Exactly what I do. I tell them to keep dispensing until I say stop. If you start dispensing before I say start or dispense and stop at a time., I won't pay. It has worked for me many times.

Chai!! A lady did exactly that same thing to me at the filling station(conoil) located at National, dats after Along bus stop ikeja. I noticed the fuel was not up to normal level but i just moved on because she first sold N350 and then stopped. Na wa oo. Nigerians need to change themselves indeed. Thanks for the info.

Mobil filling station Magodo, I drove there, was too lazy to come down from the car, told the attendant to fill up the tank, all of a sudden he told me PHCN had taken light and they had to switch to generator meanwhile his colleagues were still selling, showed me that he had dispensed N800.

He then proceeded to wipe it and fill my tank. I was livid but there was nothing I could do cos I set myself up to be ripped off.

yes, one guy wanted to job me one time, thank God for
naira land because I learnt it on a thread like this,
the guy didn't know that I got my eyes fix on the position of the 'dot' ,

It happened to me oh!
My tank was a little below the quarter mark so I told the attendant to fill up my tank he sold up to 1100 worth of fuel and told me that the pump stopped by itself but that I should look at the amount sold, I saw the amount before he cleared and started selling again he sold up to 4700 and said it was full! So the total I was supposed to pay was 5800. I asked him to look at my fuel gauge which will only start moving after I start the car, I then calmly brought out the receipts of previous purchases, normally if my guage enters red 5700 will fill my tank. I then calmly asked him to explain what could have gone wrong and he was saying jargons!
So I gave him 5k and demanded for my change he gave me my change and I drove off.

I know the litres of fuel required to fill my tank at each guage level so I normally act unconcerned cos I like to catch them at their game.

Some attendants will chat u up just to distract

mogbe!!!!!! you Don old for this brain business o hahaa

@ liljboy, 9icetoo and marpol. If you guys are just noticing that that Mobil filling station is notorious for sharp practices, then I will say welcome to Lagos.

I was scammed by them way back in 2011. "It was nepa has taken light trick that was used on me."

Infact I consider all Mobil stations to be rogues. I can never buy fuel from Mobil again in my life unless there is fuel scarcity and my gauge is on empty.
