A 23-year-old who posts under @livticks shared her shock after discovering a preset button when she was filling up her car, the Mirror reports. Filming the petrol pump, she explained: "How did I never know this existed?!

"If you click this button two times ten for £20. It will stop itself at exactly £20. Wow! That's so cool."

The footage shows the cost of the fuel rising on the screen, but it comes to a half when it reaches £20 exactly. She then showed a close-up of the preset section on the bottom-right-hand side of the pump. It features five buttons of different price and litre options and an explanation for how to use them.

More than two million people have since watched the video, with over 164,000 liking it and thousands commenting on the "petrol life hack". One person said: "Wait. You mean no more £20.01???"

Another replied to say that not all petrol stations have the button, but for the ones that do it's a "game-changer". A third posted: "You can also set it to stop at a certain literage too. Tesco is the only ones I know with it tho."
