The following section is a statement from the rental agreement Tim signed when he rented his car this past weekend.
"Upon checkout, the fuel level of the vehicle will be determined by turning the vehicle on and visually inspecting the
fuel gauge. The approximate fuel level will be recorded on the Check-Out sheet and verified with initials by the
vehicle Renter. One copy of the Check-Out sheet will be given to the customer. Another copy will be kept with the
on-site records of the vehicle.
The rented vehicle must be returned with a minimum fuel level the same as that indicated on the Check-Out sheet.
A vehicle returned with a fuel level less than the approximate level indicated on the Check-Out sheet will be
completely refueled with on-site pumps. The price of the fuel used to refuel the vehicle will be added to the
Renter's total charge at a cost of $4.50 per gallon plus a S5.00 re-fueling charge
As a part of the check-out process, it is customary for a car rental agency to look over the car with the customer and
fill out the Check-Out sheet together. As Tim was walking around the car looking for damages that he didn't want to
be held responsible for, the agency representative turned on the car, took note of the fuel level, and indicated it on
the Check-Out sheet. Since Tim didn't have any questions, the clerk handed him the keys and a copy of the Check-
Out sheet and wished him well.
