In both cases the amount deducted from my credit card was so small that it really wasn't worth chasing up from here in the UK - I seem to remember it being only a couple of dollars; in "Dollars" case, a measly 85 cents springs to mind. This isn't much I know, but calculated out per gallon would make a very expensive gallon of gas - in any case the administration costs of sending me a receipt itemising the deduction probably cost more than they deducted.

Regards KGB I agree that it's not worth fighting but that is the kind of nickel and dime stuff that makes me reluctant to patronize the company again. I'm not even sure that automatic shutoff would even be an absolutely reproducible point. |
