There are nuances at gas stations that drivers should know, reports 'Your Car'.

Maintaining a car has many subtleties that not all drivers are aware of. Every day, many motorists visit gas stations, simply used to refueling their cars without thinking about the details of the process. However, even refueling a car has its nuances that are important to consider.

For example, the common practice here of filling up for a specific monetary amount is not the most optimal solution.

At gas stations, fuel dispensers are configured to dispense fuel by volume, not by price. Therefore, when a customer wants to fill up for a specific amount, the system performs a recalculation, which can lead to rounding of the fuel volume.

The refueling system at gas stations works to put a certain amount of fuel in the tank, not a fixed amount of money. Thus, when a driver requests to fill up for a certain amount, the system may round the volume of fuel, and it does not always benefit the customer.
