Jackal, your lengthy posts are correct in noting that we can't expect rental car companies to give us receipts. However, I believe the receipt issue misses the larger point that it's ridiculous to charge for gas if someone filled up 12 miles away. Furthermore, it should be a simple 2 second operation to check if tank is full: turn on key and look at gauge. It doesn't have to be that complicated. Yes, sometimes there will be a $1-3 difference between needle on F and needle to right of F, but you can't tick off customers for the occasional $1-3. Most people fill up at an airport gas station. The IAD Exxon is the nicest for this. Trying to make sure the customers that fill up 25 miles away pay their fair share takes more resources than it's worth.
