Today, due to the increase in fuel costs, everyone is looking for the most convenient ways to refuel without paying. Unfortunately there is no particular discount on petrol so all methods are illegal.
Petrol has reached truly excessive costs in recent months, the same thing as diesel, the cost is now equal to €2 per litre, while it used to be around one euro and even less. The difference is obviously there and it is noticeable.
The price has doubled and not everyone can afford it. Between excise duties and increases, anything is happening.
The solution found by most: give up the car
Some people have found the drastic savings solution, or giving up using your own vehicle by sacrificing independence, going in favor of public transport for both long and short stretches. To demonstrate that the situation has become untenable, here is the case of a 50-year-old man who committed serious crimes for 5 years. Through illegality he managed to steal 300 liters of fuel from various petrol stations, causing damage of €500 to the owner of the vending machine.
The man caused the petrol to come out of the pipe by jumping on it, applying pressure with his own body. Then he carefully placed everything inside the car and left for another petrol station traveling km and km with the aim of reserving a lot of petrol without even paying.
Here is the story of the man who defrauded several petrol stations
The method he chose works because the drops left over from the previous supply paid for by honest customers come out of the tube. So the man went on for 5 years saving a lot of money for really interesting figures. Everything worked until on his way he did not find himself a particularly attentive soldier and suspicious of the ambiguous behavior that gave rise to careful research. The investigations have led law enforcement on the right trackToday we are talking about fraud. The case has been under study for years, it was then concluded that it is not the only one because the trick has been adopted for a long time.
One of the gas station attendants defrauded by the 50-year-old over the past few years, he could do nothing but file a complaint and is now awaiting compensation. Like him, all the other victims of the same offense. In the end, the sneaky guy didn’t really save money, on the contrary he had to pay out more than the stolen amount in fuel.
