PRICE OF PETROL
SERVICE CHARGE RESENTED. “It is bad enough to have to pay 2s. Id. a gallon for petrol,” said an irate car owner to d. Dominion reporter yesterday, “without being stung for an extra 3d. for the first gallon.” What is that for ? . . “They call it a service charge, if you please—for pumping the petrol into the holder and allowing it to run down the hose into the tank.” f Are all the Stations making that charge ? “No, not all. But I believe most of them are. Another motorist told me that he always -got his supplies from the one man, and was never charged
the extra threepence. Those that don’t know pay! The question is should anyone have to pay that 3d. ?”
