    So do I switch off the ignition and push my car to the pump?

    No you do about 50 then turn off your engine about 20 yards from the forecourt and coast in, all the time struggling with your power assisted steering and brakes. You only need to push it out (unless the next guy coming in gives you a friendly bump to send you on your way)

  • This is rife in the W.Yorks area if I was to simply stop going to these garages I'd be driving to scotland to get petrol. ASDA seems to come up a lot in this and they charged me 2p when i'd got back in my car, I wasn't even using (or standing close to) the pump!
    However quick complain 2p removed, result! Now what can I get for my 2p.

    The petrol pump attendant adds 1p every time you fill up...
