...Yesterday I filled my 60 litres tank vehicle with 63 litres in one of the 'branded' fuel stations. The manual of the car says that when the red sign comes on, there is 7 liters remaining in the tank. Since I wanted to check how many liters the tank will hold, I ran around for afew more kilometers and by the time I went for refilling there must have been 4 liters left. My question the is how can you fill a 60 liter tank with 65 litres or thereabout? Shell is a known company and I am sure there have their pumps checked by KEBS. HAs anybody experienced this? I have the receipt and would like to hear your opinions before I go to KEBS...If there is need. Most of us do not fill our tanks and therefore difficult for us to know that we are being robbed by these oil companies.

problem 1:
mine experience probably is different, at first i thought my car had issues, then came the idea maybe its the prices which shoot up almost daily, i fuel at one particular station. along msa road i think at round 97.6 per liter, with 1500/= i would do my week's errands then will fuel on saturday for my weekends errands. of late by wednesday the red light comes on I got to refuel, which calx that same errands at an extra 500 bob a week.

problem 2:
the starts to lose power esp when im doing over 100km/h, I realise my collegues too, have this problem, i go to my mech and im told "unatumia mafuta chafu...." he tell we have to be changing the fuel filter when doing the car's service.
