In France a gas station measures the volume of fuel to the nearest milliliter, which is called a "litre". A gas station can have a nozzle for manually measuring fuel quantities, but the nozzle is rarely used. The most common way to measure petrol is by using a device called a fuel gauge that automatically calculates mileage based on engine revolutions.
