Today, getting gasoline has become a real problem, because the cost of fuel has skyrocketed.
This is why people invent them all in order to save money, even if they descend into illegality. agreeing to run the risk of serious criminal consequences.
The price of gas has doubled at the moment, as has that of electricity, in fact the bills have quadrupled, people are trying to save as much as he can by giving up many small things.
Petrol in these days has again come to cost € 2 with excise duties and increases that are constantly coming and going. In fact, many Italians prefer not to use the car for travel giving in to the use of public transport and giving up their independence.
Here’s what happened in an Italian refueling
The situation for all Italians has become unsustainable. This is why the strange ideas increase day by day and never fail. In reality all this has been happening for years now, only that in the last period the situation has become tragic and dramatic. A few years ago a soldier from Rimini foiled a real scam, suspicious of the behavior of a man stopped at a service station.
It is a fifty-year-old who managed to take home 300 liters of petrol for a total of € 500, implementing a very particular scam in all respects. The man bottled all this gasoline without paying a penny, through the jump on the gasoline pump hose.
The Riminese tried and managed to reach the goal, through the pressure of the jump on the tube, of squeezing from the pump the drops left over from the previous refueling of the other customers. He went from gas station to gas station and slowly managed to put together several liters of gasoline to take for free totally free. The man in question had been implementing this strategy for five years now.
The scam from 2009 to today
The first time dates back to 2009. Then he was framed and investigated, the investigations went on for years because the bureaucracy, as we all know in Italy, is truly infinite. The gas station attendant could not help but file a complaint against the man, who was finally accused of aggravated theft after a long time.
The owner of that filling station confirmed that the jump method works, about 300 liters of fuel have disappeared in its refueling, among other things it is probably not only the man accused of having discovered this technique, because there are many people who obviously fail to steal the same amount of fuel. However, the 50-year-old from Rimini will now have to pay much more than € 500, after saving only a few cents over the course of several years.
