Just went to Shell Petrol station to get a Vpower Unleaded and Price was
£1.145 per Litre
Paid the bill for 30.19 Litres totaling £36.20
After thinking a bit realised to use maths
£36.20 divided by 30.19 Liters = £1.199 for Litre instead of £1.145

Did you go back in ask why its advertised at one price yet you were charged another price?
Its hardly a scam, more like a simple error, either theirs or yours.Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.0 -
No I did not went back REalised it once I got home to far to drive just to ask
and I do regret using word scam in this contest BAD PRICING0 -
It's unusual for a petrol station to advertise a price at 114.5, the 119.9 price sounds more usual to me.0

Hardly think it will be all Shell stations, do you?
Suggest you amend the title to refer to a mistake!0 -
Not a chance you would be getting Vpower at that price I would suggest.
Vpower is normally if I recall 7p a litre dealing, and most petrol is about 109-113 at moment.
I suspect you misread the pump0 -
What's Pertol, anyway?0
-
If you're editing the word "scam" then you'd better edit the word "pertol" as well.0

Did you not look at the price on the big thing they have on entered the forecourt and look at the price when filling up, i know i do to make sure that im paying the price thats on the pump0

Definitely better at Maths than English.
Is the opening post part of a spelling test competition??Beware of imitations e.g. Robert Sterling0
