FUEL PUMP ADDING THE 0.01pence !!! ???

[PARTYANNA]

I thought the days of the fuel pumps adding that extra penny after self serving fuel had long gone.
My last two fuel ups were to an exact amount of £20, I ensured to take my finger off the nozzle trigger, as soon as I get to the cashier...... the mysterous 1p is charged. Is this down to faulty (or too accurate a) fuel measuring or what? The Fuel Station was not interested in my comment about it.

Its not the penny but the principle - Can I complain and who to?

But..the difference is you are getting the 1p of fuel.

Disagree. I am not getting the 1p of fuel as the 1p is added after fuelling and the nozle is replaced.

FYI this is just the first evil step in the filling station pump's diabolical plan to rise up against their human creators on mechanical legs and take over the world with their flailing high-pressure fuel pipe arms. The mischevious addition of a penny is just a warning that they have already acheived sentience.

Here is a stock photo from last time it happened.



Of course, fending off the filling station pumps will be much more difficult since the Michelin Man died of coronary heart disease.

Oh no. The Mitchelin man is not really dead, is he? I will not be able to sleep tonight mourning him!

Put in £19.99.

And after fueling and the nozle replaced the 1p gets added. Same issue. What do I pay the 1p for?
