Many of us are not aware that the petrol kiosk pump has a return pipe-line (in black). When the petrol tank (in the car) reaches full level, there is a mechanism to trigger off the pump latch and at the same time a return-valve is opened (at the top of the station) to allow excess petrol to flow back into the sump. But the return petrol has already pass through the meter, meaning you are donating the petrol back ..........

Hey that's new to me..
By the way we are already paying too high a price for petrol in India..
The price US citizen pays for petrol is
Today $ 2.225 per gallon (3.76 litres) = Rs. 26.44 per litre
Yesterday $ 2.214 per gallon (3.76 litres) = Rs. 25.31 per litre
OneWeek ago $ 2.170 per gallon (3.76 litres) = Rs. 25.78 per litre
One Month ago $ 2.125 per gallon (3.76 litres) = Rs. 25.25 per litre
One Year ago $ 1.752 per gallon (3.76 litres) = Rs. 20.82 per litre
Where as in India according to the new rates announced by the oil marketing companies, petrol is be available at
Rs 37.84 a litre in Delhi
Rs 40.89 a litre in Kolkata
Rs 43.23 a litre in Mumbai
Rs 41.25 a litre in Chennai
Now imagine 'donating' back.... :evil:
