I read on Pete's blog (bullsroar.blogspot.com) about the deliberately deceptive trade practice in place at all BP service stations .... placing the hoses in a different layout to the commonly accepted one .... so that the unwary driver fills up with the most expensive fuel. I've been caught by this too and I wonder .... this is such a blatant deception! Where is the ACCC? Surely this fits the definition of misleading and deceptive practice!
I went to the ACCC website to see if I could report it ..... many, many links later I found this page

Thanks Ian. I don't think this quite fits the ScamWatch site definitions, but it's worth a try. First step must be to contact BP and complain, I think. PC
