A WOMAN has revealed a “game-changing” petrol station hack that make sure you never over-spend at the pump.
The UK’s fuel prices have been on the rise due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has caused oil prices to soar.

Most of Europe relies on Russia’s oil and gas reserves for its own supply, however leaders have pledged to ban oil imports to punish Moscow which has seen prices skyrocket due to an increased global demand.
The current average petrol price in the UK is £1.82 per litre, with the cost to fill up an average family car reaching £100 on Wednesday.
But a TikToker has found a hack which means Brits don’t overspend on fuel – just with a push of a button.
The 23-year-old discovered a little-known preset button when she was filling up her car.
Filming the petrol pump, she explained: “How did I never know this existed?!
“If you click this button two times ten for £20. It will stop itself at exactly £20.
“Wow! That’s so cool.”
The clip shows the cost and fuel rising on the screen – before stopping at £20 exactly.
The button is seen on the bottom right hand side of the pump.
It has five buttons of different price and litre options and an explanation for how to use them.
Social media users rushed to the comment to share their astonishment.
One person said: “Wait. You mean no more £20.01???”
Another explained that not all petrol stations have the button, but it’s a “game-changer” for the ones that do.
A third wrote: “You can also set it to stop at a certain literage too. Tesco is the only one I know with it tho.”
“Always learning,” proclaimed someone else.
