Yet another ingenuous way to cheat. As indicated by a colleague in our association:
"Many of you may be filling up your vehicles at the Puttenahalli petrol pump down the road as it's the nearest and most convenient one. Just want to share my experience with you to ensure that you are not cheated. On three different occasions we have filled up our car for abt Rs 2000 worth of petrol. The meter starts at zero and goes properly till abt Rs 1400 then it jumps suddenly to Rs 1700 and continues onto Rs 2000. If you do not watch carefully you would easily miss this. First couple of times we have fought with the attendants and even given a written complaint (don't know how effective this is though). The last time we just told him it jumped and he promptly filled in petrol for the relevant amount!! I am sure this kind of meter tampering is common and not just in this pump.Please take care while filling your vehicles."

This is scary... have seen these guys filling it without resetting to zero, and also resetting before filling completely... but this one is new.. if we record the video, we must be able to catch this easily, right?
