I attribute this to so many customers asking to be picked up/dropped off (especially at the neighborhood locations.) I recently got a car with 3/8 of a tank and had to fill up half way back on my return trip (in the middle of rush hour.) I had to guess how much gas I would use or have to gas it twice (luckily I guessed right.)

Yes, it's very common, almost every rental for me it seems. I can't figure out if it's cheap customers or joyriding employees.
