You sort of answer your question in the question itself. Why?

I surely can't be the only driver who's car they get into say 'oh you are much cheaper than X' or 'oh you are much dearer than X'.

Punters are generally thick, mug them off by having a cheaper start, and a dearer running rate.



"Rip off Britain" has just started on the tragic lantern. You on tonight?

Maybe you should therefore have a drop of zero,zilch, nothing, and then have the meter run like billy oh, and yeah the thicko in the back will not notice or care, because it was free to get in? Yeah, right....
