Just another moan about fuel prices, but how can they get away with selling somthing at say 110.9??? Why not just put £1.11 a litre? Fucking annoys me as it makes it look a fraction cheaper than it really is, I bet they don't round it down do they? .. Cunts

 

its the same with prices for most stuff in retail, like £9.99 or £199.99 its a marketing thing to make it appear a bit cheaper than it really is

 

Indeed. People just read the first bit & don't bother with the actual pricing.

£9 may seem a bargain, whereas £10.00 may be too much - I think it's a woman thing as my missus always goes "oh, that's only £4" (for example) - except it's £4.99 so I reply "no, it's a fiver".

 

thing is, you cannot pay 110.9 P , where you can pay £9.99, total bollocks IMHO, they use it to disguise the real cost

 

This country is F***ed.

 

really wish we could emigrate, the only thing stopping us upping and leaving is the kids

this country is a disgrace

Pyschological pricing!!

 

its the same shit here.. but pur price is still alot cheaper

 

Do you ever ask for your .1p change ??

 

As said they obviously do it as it may look 'cheaper', but i see what your saying you cant actually pay 110.9 pence.

Hmmmm, i wonder what the price would be if you put in exactly 1 litre then? I assume it would show on the pump as 1.10? In fact i might go up and try it now because if it comes up as £1.11 then im going to claim back the 0.1p that they legally owe me.

 

lol @ nuts rus's sig

 

You wouldn't be able to unless you put exactly 10 litrtes in due to the minimum rule.
However, does anyone ever put fuel in by the litre instead of by price? I don't, I put £40 or £50, etc in instead of 50/ 60 litres then end up paying £48.94 (example and not reflective of the real price)

 

You could still ask for your 4p back

 

i agree with dan our country is fu**ed

 

You could, but in reality you would put the extra 4p worth of petrol in.

 

So does anyone know, with exactly 1 litre in, does it come up at £1.10 or £1.11? Either way, surely its false advertising? My guess is that it will come up as £1.10 and theyll say their giving you a bit extra for free.

 

Ye sure they will give you a bit free
Like when you put in say £73 and by the time you get to the kiosk it magicaly now £73.01, anyone know if you can detest that , or they just gonna call the old bill saying you wont pay, or let you off that time and ban you from using them again ?
