I had a civic loan car. On collection it showed about 120 miles remaining range, and I planned to do about 60 miles . But,as they do ,the remaining range dropped rapidly towards the end so I added 5 litres (about what I'd used) rather than return the car with 0 range. But it did not register.
On return the car showed only 5 miles range remaining even though I knew there must be at least 'my' 5 litres in the tank plus probably a further 5 litres or so. .
A)How many more users will unecessarily add 5 litres to this same car before it finally registers an accurate fuel capacity/remaining range? B) how many car hire customers will be charged a penalty for apparently returning the car with less fuel despite topping it up.
(Sorry , I tend to overthink things then write long posts about it

I normally fill the tank on the Jazz , but I once only added 5 litres ,which didnt register. This was a foreign filling station, where the pumps were so poorly marked I had started pumping before I realised I was getting an unnecessary super premium grade ,at a MUCH higher price than expected. I suspect the station were taking advantage of unwary customers . A tankful would have cost several £££'s more so I only bought 5 litres .
