I have to say that this act is synonymous with Mobil filling stations especially the one at Gbagada. I'm not saying others are not culprit but these are my experience with Mobil. I've sworn bit to ever purchase PMS from that filling station. 1 Like 1 Share |

yes thats what they all do especially MOBIL filling stations, they have done it to me at Gbagada and that same one on the express , but why cant mobil authorities do something about it, how can the pump dispense air, that should not be allowed, authorities should please look into this especially Mobil filling stations. at times they will even tell you there is power failure mean while other pumps will be dispensing, they tried it with me one time and I asked them if the pumps have different power source because an attendant was selling at another pump station, when you shout at them they will just quietly beg you and ask you to just pay and go. you can imagine how much they make on daily basis if they cheat 100 customers in a day . NNPC please investigate these two MOBIL stations they have criminals as petrol attendants and I believe the owners/managers know about it. 2 Likes |

Its a norms for them, that's why quantities of fuel vary for different filling stations. People who buy in keg notice this often. |

Granted attendants cheat, but be rest assured that no body can sell air to you. They either pump below or they don't pump at all. A dispenser cannot dispense air, I repeat dispensers don't dispense air. To avoid being cheated always come down from your car, and insist the meter should show zero on the display before the attendants start dispensing. To also check the integrity of most fuel stations, buy a brand new white 10 ltrs gallon, go to the station of your choice, tell the attendants to give u 10 ltrs, only, not 1000 naira worth. If the fuel gets to the mouth of the gallon, or somewhere close to it, but we'll above that rectangular mark on most gallons, then the meter is good, anything short of that, the meter is already badly tampered with. And be very clear on one thing, all fuel stations tamper with their meter, some just get very greedy while doing it. 2 Likes |

bigv:Hello! Mobil is licenced. Another trick is you request NGN5000 and they initially sell NGN1500 and return the nozzle. You insist on N5000, they then tell you they will sell the balance of N3500. If you are not paying attention,they do not wipe off the initial N1500 and continue to N3500. You see that and assume they sold from 0-3500. In total, you have been sold N3500 fuel and pay N5000. What I do is pay that initial amount of N1500 and buy the rest with another petrol station. 2 Likes |

Mobil filling stations na baba at it. They first scammed me on Ikorodu road then near their head office in VI before i realised what they were doing. They have tried it at Mobil, Jakande roundabout, Mobil Ahmadu Bello Way, Mobil at Gbagada, etc. I do not buy from Mobil filling stations even if my fuel is on empty. They are crooks and should have DPR closing them down if they haven't bribed their way through. Even after reporting to their manager, nothing happens because the manager gets a certain amount from each attendant. I generally buy from filling stations that i see a lot of bus drivers because those ones measure the fuel very well. |

Same thing happened to me at Total filling station lkwerre road port Harcourt but I was smart enough cos my eyes were fixed on the metre when the attendant finished selling to the last person before me.He started to converse with me and said he has finished putting my fuel, I told him no cos he didn't clear the metre and I want to buy 3,000 worth of fuel not 1000 . He said okay and gave me 3000 naira fuel after looking at my appearance cos I was ready for him if he behaves. |

While working as a filling station manager in a popular area in lagos, I used to settle so many cases between customers and attendants. At a point, we sacked all d attendants with the aim of sanitising the system. In d course of interviewing new attendants, we made sure we employed only those without experience of fuel attendant. But what surprised me was that barely two months after, those inexperienced attendants have acquired tricks to cheat and we were back to sqare one. One thing I will tell people is to pay attention while buying. 3 Likes |

Kingsleyinfo: I have actually bought from a filling station that did not tamper with their meter at all. I bought 5 litres in a 5 litre can and it was full to the brim at exactly 5.0 on the gauge. I was shocked as I did not expect that from a lesser known station. Mobil, TOTAL are huge thieves. I only buy from select MRS stations. I'be even bought from an NNPC station that adjusted their pump badly, little wonder the last time I passed there, the name of the station had changed and was totally empty. |

Re: BUSTED: How Fuel Stations Cheat Customers by staymore: 2:56pm On Mar 06, 2015 |
Very simple situation here. The N1000 you thought you saw is N10:00. But most customers mistake it for N1000. So, if you ask them to dispense N5000, they pretend they don't hear and dispense N10:00 and then N4000. So you thought it is N1000 + N4000=N5000, but you are wrong, they've given you N10:00 + N4000=N4010. Another method is given 50 for 500, 2050:00 for 2500. Most people don't really take note of this little details and they end up been cheated. It doesn't matter how you open your eyes and look at the meter board. 1 Like |

Re: BUSTED: How Fuel Stations Cheat Customers by Nobody: 2:59pm On Mar 06, 2015 |
mekula: Bros except you actually went there with a 5 ltr seraphin graduated can, the metre was adjusted. Like I said, the degree of tamper is what makes one station better than the other. In your case, the adjustment was very minimal, you won't notice, but I can tell you that meters are never left to factory defaults. Don't want to say more than that. |
