On return I told this (driven 180km and refuelled, but gauge showing near-to-full), and the AVIS rep told me "no problem, if there is really a liter missing, it is OK".

Got the receipt and OK. Later checked my credit card and found 125SEK higher charge, requested a new receipt at AVIS and saw the new added 125SEK fuel cost!!

No reply from them. I am furious about these scams. Not for the tiny 20 bucks but for the nuisance and effort to try to fix things spending my time. Question of principle.
Not sure whether you were returning to TLV, but my return was $80 more expensive than it should have been including a $20 fuel charge for a full tank and a $50 charge they cannot document. I'm disputing with my credit card.
