The Indian Oil outlet on LB-Road , Adyar is a busy petrol station in the neighborhood.
The employees of this outlet perennially pilfer petrol , pockets and peace of their customers .
i have been cheated by them a few times and mostly avoid going to their place to refuel except in emergencies.
many of my friends and neighbors have also been deceived by their gimmicks.
they never reset the meter for every new filler, and the readings of the previous filler is being
added to the next filler and they earn easy money this way and the customer gets less fuel for what he pays.
they also distract the customer in teams or two, when the fuel is being loaded ,one would in the
garb of offering advice for the vehicle, pass some randomly absurd comment on the vehicle in tanglish
and the other one would have set the meter to an amount much lesser than the demanded one
and show he has already filled the tank ,hence forcing the customer to again fill for the remaining money
which is the only fuel that enters the fuel tank. i have caught them red handed many times and they pretend
like they have heard me wrong and apologize .And the management whom i had alerted of this issue have never
taken any corrective measures . i believe they also would be in hand and glove in this robbery.

these practices have been observed by me as early as 2008 and it is still prevalent and i am sure it is
going even after being reported on several online consumer complaints forums .there are also other complaints of
adulterated fuels being given in the same fuel station . i urge the concerned authorities to take the corrective measures.

I have been cheated here 3 times so far in the last couple of months. They take 200 rupees and fill petrol only for 100 rupees. this is the only bunk on the way between work and home and it is such a piss to be cheated time and again. i swear i will hence forth go out of my way to another petrol bunk rather than be deceived repeatedly.

Not only is this petrol bunk notorious for cheating people by filling petrol for less than the paid amount(happened twice to us and also our neighbours), they also have vulgar, ill-mannered coolies on the staff - one lowlife bunk attender at this place had the audacity to open the passenger door of my car and thrust the bill at me, this, when my driver was standing outside, I had given the money to my driver to get the petrol filled. I did not complain as I was in a hurry to reach the office, but since then I took to locking the doors of my car securely. Worst place ever.
