Ukrainian motorists received an important tip regarding refueling their cars. Ordering fuel for a fixed amount rather than a specific number of liters may be disadvantageous in the long run.
Although this method seems convenient — named the amount, paid, and drove away — in reality, it can be economically unprofitable.Modern equipment at gas stations is designed for accurate measurement of the volume of fuel, rather than its cost. By asking to refuel the car for a certain amount, the driver may receive less fuel than when ordering a specific number of liters due to rounding. ### The issue of underfilling and expert recommendations There is a problem of underfilling fuel at some gas stations in Ukraine. Using a constant refueling method for a fixed amount may lead to accumulating financial losses due to underfill. For this reason, experts advise ordering fuel in precise volumes for better control of expenses and avoiding excess costs. Payment 'for an amount' complicates the control over the actual amount of fuel received from the gas station, so it is recommended to switch to ordering fuel in liters. This simplifies expense planning and allows tracking the actual volume of fuel in the tank, especially in conditions of price fluctuations.
