Petrol, the legal trick of petrol stations to save money

No gimmicks or illegal practices, here is the trick increasingly used to get petrol and save time and effort.

Getting gas has become a problem again. Blame the ever-decreasing oil prices Brent still below 90 dollars, the inevitable consequence is obviously the surge in prices charged at the petrol pump.

Here we go again, the average in self-service exceeds 2 euros per litre on the highway. As revealed by the Daily Relay in the city we are getting closer to those two euros per liter that you pay on the motorway, currently just a step away from 1.92 euros/litre.

It goes a little better for those who put diesel, whose price remains unchanged. But the situation in general becomes very worrying again. There Q8, just to give an example, it increased the recommended prices of petrol by one cent per liter and reduced those of diesel by one cent.

Piedmont, Liguria and Lombardy, Modena, but it is not just a problem in northern Italy, because there are also Benevento and the province of Palermo among the regions and cities that have shown a greater increase in the price of petrol, as noted by the Codacons. Better to think of a legitimate trick to use when we go to the petrol station, it will really save time and effort. That’s how.

The petrol cap is the lock that opens the gates of paradise

The world of social media, YouTube this time, he reveals a trick that is popular when we need to fill up with petrol, but we are in a relative hurry. It’s an absurd trick to get petrol, but without making any effort.

Maybe due to a lot of laziness, or also because now we are always in a hurry, when many people go to the service they don’t want to always keep the pump nozzle pressed to deliver the petrol needed to start again: in theory there is a small tab on the nozzle but in many, too many cases it is deactivated, which is why you have to constantly keep your hand on the pump nozzle. Or not?

A little forethought is always needed

And here the turning point comes into play. Using our petrol cap, we can fit it between the lever and the gun, it fits perfectly, not even on purpose. In this way it is as if we activated that lever.

Fuel will continue to come out, at least until we decide to disconnect it and remove it. Everything will go back to how it was before. Be careful, it is a trick that saves time and effort, but only if done very carefully: if you remove the petrol pump from the hole in your car before removing the cork, you will spray petrol everywhere, with lots of problems. Be careful, a little forethought is always necessary.
