My car fuel tank cheated me!!

hmmph..thats what actually happened for the past 1.5 weeks....i din do much like wht others do on the eve of the price hike....queuing up at petrol stations like maddies to fill up their tanks...but is did made me think when i went over to the station to fill up after 4 days later....i drive a middle class man car...a Hyundai...of which it used to be about RM80 for a maximum full tank...so when i did another fill up after the hike i thot itll be abt RM10 extra...but im wrong....yesterday, dad came down to visit his granddaughter (my girl) and as usual he took the public transport as he believes driving down is too much (cant blame him) and i have to go to the stupid Puduraya to fetch him..i do know that the car has already running on fumes as the tank is totally empty when i reached the dreaded Jln Tun Razak...so i stopped at the Caltex beside Tan&Tan to fill up...i paid RM90 to the cashier and started to do the necessary....imagine my shock as i entered the car the tank showed only 2/3rd full....i went down to check whether my tanks is leaking but its not...so i have to add another RM20 to add up the fuel....as such, a full tank now will cost me an approx of RM110...

thanks to the government...and now i have to look for a better paying job.......
