First Gas Station Receipt Question

[Osberto9]

Can the first receipt for the gas station be of anything like a candy bar, i will already be fueled up and wont need more fuel, i tried sending the same question thru the contact us form but its been a few weeks and i haven't heard back so i assume the web form doesn't work

I guess it could be I've used an ATM receipt before, but they really like a gas receipt, any particular reason you can't leave the tank a little low. I have never worried about how much gas I have to pump any amount will do.

The contact form is not currently working, so that's why I never received it.

That said, although we prefer gas receipts, any computer-generated receipt showing date, time, and location will work.

I have used a candy bar receipt for the end of a run with no issue. Was attending a race and wanted to leave my tank empty for race gas.

Ira, can you comment on why they're preferred?

Just because it provides a more complete record of one's fuel usage.

The starting fuel receipt on my last ride showed that I crammed about 1/2 a gallon in just to get the dbr.

One of my reciepts from my first SS1000 was for .1 gallon, I used a pump that didn't give a reciept, then went to another one and put just a splash in so I could get a valid reciept. I explained what happened and it was fine.
On the turnaround point of my recent BBG I couldn't get a reciept from the gas station with a location, I went down the block and ate a small burger at Wendy's and used that reciept as a backup to the fuel one. I just got the email that my ride was verified so i guess that was OK. For the record Wendy's and Mcdonald's almost always have very good reciepts.
