Tulum, Quintana Roo — A new video circulating on social media has sparked outrage after a visitor to Tulum allegedly captured a gas station charging for more fuel than it dispensed.

The footage, shared widely on digital platforms, shows the moment the customer claims he was overcharged during a fill-up. The incident has reignited criticism of fuel station practices in the Mexican Caribbean, with many users calling for stricter oversight of establishments that serve tourists.

No official sanctions have been announced against the station involved, but the case has revived debate over frequent complaints of incomplete liters and improper charges at gas stations across Quintana Roo.

In recent months, federal authorities have conducted inspections in municipalities including Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Cancún, where they detected irregularities in measuring equipment and filed complaints over potential consumer harm.
