The gauge read 7/8 full when I picked up the car. I was told the tank was full and the that's what the gauge shows with a full tank. I made them put the 7/8 on the rental agreement. Alternately I was going to make them top off the tank.
No surprise when I gassed up and the gauge showed F. I didn't get a credit for unused gas, I got the credit because I wasn't given the full tank they claimed when I rented the car.
This was after I didn't fall for the "basic coverage" scam.
