This one is for cars...
You go in a four-wheeler... So you are a rich guy... so by default have good money and less time.. :-) You ask for fuel for 1200/- Person A starts filling. The meters (both fuel and amount) starts rolling.
Then other guy B comes for cash. But you take out your credit card (Software engineers lifeline), B takes it inside and returns with the receipt. You sign it and now you check the meter, it shows 1200/-
Everything seems correct. But you miss out one point, whether the final display was the actual one or just a dummy display.
To find out check both readings. Both fuel and price should have valid numbers.
This I have seen yesterday and this caused me to write this blog in frustration. The person filled upto 650/- or so, then he changed the display by using the keyboard to 1200/- and showed that to the car owner. Before I told the owner of the car, he left... As I said before he was busy...
1. Check Zero always in the beginning
2. Check both (fuel and amount - litres and rupees) are showing correct values

Welcome to Blog
Hi all,
I would like to list my experiences in Bangalore.
Yes, as the name of the blog suggests, I will pen down the cheats I have experienced.
Please suggest more from your side and let us provide information for others to be careful.
You may doubt, how much it will help as it is online? But since this doesn't cost you a paise, we can give a try.
Cheers,
Krishna

50/- Rupee Cheat
This happens mainly for two-wheelers.
When we enter a petrol bunk and ask to fill for 200/- or 100/-, first the person will fill for 50/- and then fill for the remaining amount (150 or 100).
Actually he hasn't filled for the first 50/-. Either it is the previous amount (50 being very popular amount for 2-wheelers) or a pre-programmed amount. He can make the LED display to show 50/- by pressing a single button. When we were busy opening the purse, checking the petrol, attending a mobile, he does that.
I had these experiences many times (bunks in airport road, in HSR Layout), but realized once I went and asked for a full tank. First he filled 1 litre for 50/- then he filled 13 more litres. Bill is 700. But my tank capacity is 13 litres. I asked him how it is possible then he immediately said the bill is 650 and he didn't mention anything about the first 50/-.
I have a disadvantage of being non-kannadiga. I couldn't argue much and left from there. Since then I am careful and always check whether the reading (both amount and litres) are changing.
