Poughkeepsie:
Seemed odd the truck was not full but three quarters full. I found out this probably a scam being run by the company. When I went to refill the gas gauge seemed to freeze right before 3/4 tank, I kept putting in another 2 gallons, needle wouldn't move, even after starting and stopping engine.Finally after 26 gallons the needle suddenly popped to full. I drove 170 miles, the computer registered 10 mpg the whole way I should have used 17 gallons max.
I'm very disappointed the the U-HAUL policy that forces you to buy more then you need or want. I needed the truck for only 24 hours but was forced to pay for two days rental. I was able to return the truck early the next day, but still forced pay for two days. They were also very cheap with the included miles, especially since I had to go 12 miles out of my way to pick up the truck in Poughkeepsie vs the facilities closer to my house as originally contracted.

The gas refill was a total ripoff. Insist on a full tank, because trying to get to 3/4 was impossible. The needle would freeze before 3/4. Either you filled it up or went back short where they would charge you $9 gallon for the difference. Every car rental company I ever used credited you for the extra gas you put in, UHAUL will not. I had to complain very loudly until I finally got a lousy $10 credit for probably over $30 in gas I had to put in extra.
This and being forced to pay for two days, I will never use U-HAUL again and pass the word around to my friends, Facebook and Twitter on these shameful practices.
