The second attendant replied that "since I had traveled so few miles, and many people don't refill, hoping that it won't be noticed, they automatically add the charge for low-miles returns". The first clerk never asked if I had refilled the tank, just assumed that I hadn't, although the gauge registered higher than full. Looks like a new revenue enhancing scam being implimented by several companies.
