Avis Car Rental Avis Car Rental-You better watch your tank!! Nationwide, Nationwide

If you are traveling and need to rent a car, especially if you are renting from Avis, you better watch your gas tank. 

When I picked up my rental car at Knoxville Airport, the gas tank showed "full".  In driving from there to Bristol Tenn, I saw that the car used 1/2 tank of gas.  When I returned to the airport, I filled the gas tank before leaving Bristol to Knoxville and the car used only 1/4 tank gas.  So the tank, while looking full when I picked it up, was in fact 1/4 tank low.  Is this their policy to rip off customers??  One quarter tank per car must add up to quite a profit.

I have noticed this in the past and let it slide as I am sure many people do.  But I accuse them of cheating their customers.  Not only shame on them and not only will I NEVER use Avis again, I will spread this just as far and as long as I can!!  Between Avis and  Priceline, I have never been ripped off so badly on a trip. 

I do highly recommend, when renting a car, go directly to a gas station and see if you too have been cheated.  Oh, and save the receipt.
