liters from evaporation in a 12 mile drive

Not bad actually, only 5% ripped off. Stations here around TS take 10 - 12 %. Not just the gringos but they rip off their own poor neighbors. What a
mentality!
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

Leo, The ejido station N of Todos is much better than the one in town or the one in Pescadero.
Last time I filled my 19 liter container in Pescadero, they managed to squeeze 26.4 liters into it.

The newer station on Jurez in Loreto is fairly accurate, but the others get you for about 10 to 12 % ...Once a month I take my 5 gal (18.9 litre)
container to check which one has changed during the month..When I ask how they got 24 liters in the container, their reply is "it must be your lucky
day"...they don't get it???

Yesterday I used a marked one gallon container and converted through a internet web site maybe my hughes net conversion site is wrong. I put 20 liters
in each can and ended up with 5 gallons.

Maybe you can go back and make a video again?? I loved that last time. If they're shorting people they deserve the ridicule, and a call
to..............................not sure who to call. Do you know? It would be great for future complaints.

Could It Be Due To Different Pumps?

PEMEX, is chortling they have a new pump model waiting that is absolutely sealed, tagged and rigged so the only thing the gasolinistas can do is
change the display price on the dispenser. No data port to access liter variables. Vamos a ver. Wouldn't it be nice?
Next trip to that SAME pump, trying ordering 19 LITERS and see what you get

Actually 1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.785 411 784 liter so if they get 4 liters in it you are still overcharged by 5.36%
