Email them and show them what's going on.

I had success with gas charges at random rental companies, all by making a claim by email.
Sent tweet. Will try that too.

Im just trying to figure out how they measure gas in the tank. I returned the car and got a receipt printed on the spot. Guy never looked into car other than to see gas gauge.

In theory they might've just assumed that the tank was completely full when you took it (bad assumption) and then just billed you for however many gallons they put in until it clicked off as full. That way they have a number even if the gauge read full all the way through

The guy had a handheld scanner and printer. He checked me in in under a minute printed the receipt and i then parked where he told me to park. He didnt fill anything. The charge was already processed. They also tried to scam me with a $15 upgraded car charge when they gave me tbe exact car i paid for on priceline.

I think this is very plausible.

They handed me the receipt when i pulled in the lot. When did they measure? Read what I wrote. They didnt send me a bill later. This happened at the time that i returned the car. Do rental agencies have sensors installed to measure gallons of gas in the car?

File a complaint, and dispute it if nothing comes of it.

Why hasn't there been an ebay coupon in months? But even more, why was there a coupon almost monthly and then it just stopped?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I think what you mean to ask is..

why has eBay stopped doing a promotion where they lost money. they used to do it every month and then it just stopped.

Yes. If they lost $ on month 1 why do it for months 2 -x?

A Yukon doesn't have too much better gas mileage than 13 MPG.

Cold water and no dryer. If you use the dryer take them out while still moist.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half
