    Hi Guys

    Have you all ever noticed when you fill your petrol/diesel from Apple green pumps , for the first 12 cents on the meter nothing comes out of the nozzle except air.
    Please respond if anybody else had the same experience and I would like to know where these malpractices should be reported.

    Common in all stations not just applegreen, you know there is a bit of distance to travel before the fuel actually comes out of the nozzle?

    Edit: NSAI should you feel something nefarious is going on

    Title change from "Apple Green Gas Stations" to "Applegreen petrol stations" because we're not in Merica

    Not just Applegreen it happens in. I blew €1.50 of air from 3 pumps in a large retailer before driving off.

    I think they do diesel also. 'Filling Station' is the normal accepted term (even if you don't fill er up.) ;)
