Who would pump in gallon or more after you get the click? I round up to 50 cent. Or even dollar. With the price per gallon of gas that's nowhere near gallon. IMO 99.99999% of the time warranty items at the end of the warranty going to be blamed on the owner lack of maintenance! especially if you didn't have pre~ventive maintenance servicing done at dealership IMO.

I always get laugh when people take their low mileage 8 year old or older in for oil change and the business (dealership or otherwise) come back with all the overdue servicing requirements that wasn't done and they are shocked with the total bill (then want to cry fraud)(not saying it don't happen, but most wouldn't know the difference due to lack of servicing requirements). If you really read your owners manual most serving is time related also not just miles. Especially on all wheel drive European cars. Not uncommon 60k or 72 month servicing to be well over $1200 dollars and that for the lower priced models as friend found out.
