  Thanks for the tip. Indeed many people would try to round up on the dollar, whereas they should try to round up to the nearly litre to maximise the saving.

    Everyone laughs at me because I hold the hose up high so it's a direct flow into my tank. Most of the time I get a nice bit of free fuel out of the hose before I even pull the trigger because no one else is as tight assed as me around here :P

      I prefer to hold my hose low so I don't splash any on the floor.
      I then give it a shake to release the last bit of fuel.
      A tight ass is best in public places, just in case.

    just checked my 30/10/13 receipt.
    32.55 L @ 139.9 c/L
    8 c/L Fuel discount = $2.60

    so.. 32.55 * 0.08 = $2.604

  Coles Express must pro rata, as i just checked a receipt from the 7/10/2013
  and it allowed for the trickle more fuel in the discounted litres. :)

  EDIT: say @ILOSTNEMO example was 44.32 @0.08 cpl disc = $3.52
  but i received $3.55 discount for the same amount.

  If you are saving 16c a litre and put in 54.89 litres you will only save 54 times 16c

  sorry but you actually save 54.89 times 16c - they do not round to whole litres
