Since the rental companies always charge about 30% above the going
rate for petrol anyway, I would guess that they assume that anyone
prepared to let them fill it up at that exhorbitant price won't
bother to check the amount either. The only people I know who let
rental companies fill the car are salesmen charging it to their
company who don't care how much the charge is.
