If you have not just landed in this world, you will have noticed the generalized price increase that has occurred in everyday consumer items. Filling the shopping cart or gas tank costs much more than it did a year ago. the invasion of Russia a Ukraine is largely to blame for this inflation. Fuels and energy have become more expensive, which is causing the price of production and transport to rise. And the difference ends up being paid by the consumer.
Also, some companies try to stop the coup. And what they do is not raise the price of their product so much, but reduce the content. On the internet we have seen some videos of people weighing their products at home and the result is not the same as indicated on the packaging. A fact that is called reduflation.
The user has the right to demand the metering system to check the amount of gasoline
However, knowing if they catch us with the Gasoline its not that easy. The fuel goes directly to the tank and there are no mechanisms that indicate how many liters they have really thrown at us. However, any consumer can check if the gas station is not offering the real amounts.
Each gas station is required by law to have a measuring system available to the customer, which he can request whenever he wants to check if the amounts dispensed by the supplier are correct. In fact, if those responsible for the gas station refuse to offer it, they are committing a crime.
The system in question consists of a 10 liter flask in which gasoline is poured. Once the fuel has been put in, we must wait a few moments until the foam that is generated goes down. And once it has stabilized we can check if there are those ten liters that guarantee or if there are less. In any case, there is an established 0.5% margin of error. If it exceeds this percentage, it is a denounceable fact. So now you know: if you think you are being cheated with gasoline, you are always within your right to demand the metering system and check it.
