With the rise in petrol prices and the inflation, people really don't want to spend more than wanted on fuel. But sometimes it may be hard to get the exact price right, and you may sometimes find yourself going over your limit.?
If this is something that the guy at the petrol pump does or you do it, then there is a trick that will blow your mind.?
A woman has gone viral after sharing a look at a seemingly little-known petrol pump trick that could save you money and time - and all you need to do is push a button.?
The 23-year-old who is known as Livs?shared her shock after discovering a preset button when she was filling up her car.Filming the petrol pump, she explained: "How did I never know this existed?
"If you click this button two times ten for ?20. It will stop itself at exactly ?20. Wow That is cool."
It showed how the cost and fuel on the petrol pump screen was going up - until the sale reached ?20 exactly and it stopped. The woman also showed a close-up of the preset section on the bottom-right-hand side of the pump, which features five buttons of different price and litre options and an explanation for how to use them.
Recently, rumours about the shortage of petrol and diesel took over the country.?The rumours had led to panic buying, which resulted in some fule pumps running dry, making matters worse. Rajasthan was one of the first states to report a fuel shortage.
Some rumours on social media had claimed that following the recent controversy over offensive comments made against Prophet Muhammed, Saudi Arabia had stopped supplying crude oil to India.
In Ahmedabad, Gujarat too long queues were seen in front of petrol pumps, triggered by similar rumours.
However, soon after these rumours started doing the rounds, state-run oil companies Indian Oil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum Corporation rejected reports of a fuel shortage in the country and assured us that there is no need for any panic.
"Dear customers, this is to assure you that product availability at our retail outlets is absolutely normal. There is adequate product availability & supplies to all markets. We request you not to panic. Indian Oil is fully committed to serve at all times," V Satish Kumar, Director (Marketing) of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), tweeted.
