What are the hidden rules of gas stations? Have you ever met one?

The hidden rules of gas stations mainly include:

1. Sell expensive oil. Some gas stations will delay lowering oil prices when oil prices rise to earn excess profits, and some gas stations have been selling high oil prices. This is the unspoken rule of gas stations, aiming at profit.

2. Car service extortion. Some gas stations will force drivers to sell services such as car washing and gas filling. If the driver refuses, the oiler may refuse to refuel the vehicle for various reasons, which is also a means of extortion.

3. Short weight and short weight. There may be some technical problems such as funnel in the oil pump of individual gas stations, which leads to insufficient oil supply. This is a hidden rule, and it is profited by improper means.

4. Sell inferior oil. Very few gas stations may sell inferior recycled oil or adulterated oil, which seriously damages the rights and interests of consumers and is also a hidden rule of violating the law and discipline.

Personally, I have never encountered the second blackmail service during refueling, which is a relatively bad phenomenon. However, the first situation of selling expensive oil is occasionally encountered. The oil price of individual gas stations has indeed remained high for a long time, which makes people suspect that there are factors other than small profits but quick turnover. The third technical problem does not rule out the occasional occurrence, but it is difficult for consumers to judge and prove. It is illegal to sell inferior oil, which is unlikely to be encountered by ordinary consumers unless the vehicle is abnormal.

Generally speaking, the hidden rules of gas stations are mainly to seek excess profits, and there are still individual differences in means. Nevertheless, the oil products and services of most gas stations are normal, and these hidden rules belong to a few. However, as consumers, we still need to be vigilant and report problems in time to avoid damage to our rights and interests. Gas stations with repeated bad experiences, as consumers, should also reduce the frequency of patronage, which can have a certain inhibitory effect on them.
