When my daughter filled brand her new car which holds 40 litre it took 38 litres from the same pump. The tank showed a quarter of a tank at the time. 2 problems from the same pump, I'd say it's the pump.

I wouldn't be trusting the accuracy of the fuel gauge or the tank capacity listed.
Didn't the car come with a full tank?

from memory the last time we had one of these interest free set ups, the minimum monthly payment came up short of the total amount we needed to pay off in the 24 months also, so that's how they catch a lot of people out...the interest is then calculated on the original purchase price, not what you had left owing

Not quite correct mate...
Interest is only payable on the balance outstanding AFTER the promotional period is finished (ie you get a loan for $1500, pay off $1,00 before due date, then you start to pay interest on the remaining $500)- got asked this question so many times when I was slaving away at Retravision

and this quote from HSBC website (FAQ section)

What happens if I don't pay the total amount owing by the end of the promotional period?

"At the end of the promotional period, any outstanding balances will incur interest at our cash advances interest rate. Interest is only charged to the remaining promotional balance from the day after the promotion expires and is not backdated to the start of the promotion."

Correct, the only cost is a $5/month account keeping fee if you pay it off in time otherwise 30% interest ouch! You need to divide the financed amount by number of months -1 and pay that amount monthly, therefore you pay it off before the interest free period expires. We purchase all our big ticket items this way and leave the cash in the mortgage offset account, also makes managing cash flow easier. For example we just bought a $4000 Miele oven on 24 months interest free, I can make up more than the account keeping fee by leaving the cash in the mortgage offset account for the 24 months.

Yep it works well the only hiicup we had with interest free was when we did our half lap i wanted all debts wiped, but i copped a pretty big penalty for payng out my interest free loan early, but in the long run i wanted to be on the road without montly payments over my head
