A number of motorists have lodged complaints against several service stations claiming that they have received ‘short fuel’ from these stations as against the fuel provided by other stations for the equivalent sum of money.
The Guyana National Bureau of Standards, upon receiving the complaints, launched an investigation into the matter and has concluded that the fuel dispensed by these fuel stations is accurate. The investigation revealed that all the fuel pumps are within the accepted tolerance.
In addition, the security seals that are placed on the meters by the GNBS to prevent tampering were checked and found to be intact.
As for the ‘short fuel’ that the drivers claimed to have received, the price per litre of the fuel at those stations is the likely cause of the varying amounts supplied, and which GNBS has no control over. It was noted by the entity that the higher the price per litre, a lesser quantity of fuel would be supplied for a specific sum of money.
For example, if fuel is sold at $200 per litre, a driver who is purchasing $1000 worth of fuel will be supplied with five litres of fuel. However, if fuel is sold at $250 per litre, the driver will be supplied with only four litres of fuel for the equivalent sum of money.
Hence, GNBS is urging motorists to pay attention to the price per litre at which the fuel is being supplied. In addition, it is recommending that fuel be purchased by volume instead of money value so as to avoid any misconceptions.
