I'm very sceptical about this idea. If it was policed by government departments or insurance companies then that's one thing but this is all down to the mercy of the person in the petrol station who I imagine will have a "computer says no" type of attitude in the event of an error. If you're very low on petrol yet insured correctly it won't matter if their systems come up with the wrong information - you're going nowhere.

I think the government should be more concerned with bringing down the extortionate amounts companies charge for insurance. That way people will be far less likely to want to avoid paying.
