Default Petrol pump rip off

I don't drive my tj much these days, I just drive round in my Suzuki van I use for work. A few weeks ago I decided to fill up my 5 lt lawnmower can with petrol every time I fill the Suzuki up and empty it into the tj.
On 4 th Jan I filled up at the woolworths in Kessels Road (Brisbane) I managed to put 6 lts in the can, with out spilling a drop. I remember thinking at the time 'Wow I can fit 6 lts into this 5 lt can' (Dumass).
On 13 th Jan I filled up at woolworths in Goodna, filling my can up first, at 5.4 lts the can is full and the petrol is going all over the driveway. I'm thinking You cannot fit 6 lts of petrol into a 5 lt can!!!
The Kessels road petrol station must be making good money.

What the hell are you doing buying woolworths petrol anyways. it comes from overseas i believe india and is in short terms (Watered Down) not with water but u get me. Its cheap and nasty fuel Octane ratings arent correct and actually does more damage than good. Every car dealer u see will say to u if your cars running rough.. Did u buy Liberty or Wooleorths fuel? u say yes, they say go buy some decent fuel and fork out the extra 5cents.

'Ken-Oath!'.....or film it yourself with witnesses. Today - Tonight are ALWAYS looking for these types of stories. Check it again, and if they are still stealing from you, then go get 'em.
