USAIt might be well to check the amount of gas going into your car
using the 10-gallon method.
A friend in Baton Rouge just sent me this, and I had a
similar experience but failed to question as mine was minimal but
thought you might want to be on the lookout if you pump your own gas.
I just got back from filling up at Sam's on Siegan. I
filled my tank with 22.5 gal. But, the problem was that my tank on my
Honda only holds 20.3 gal. I went in to talk to the manager and he said
that the pumps were calibrated by the state and that he couldn't do too
much. I said 'Whoa, something isn't right here!'
He tried to tell me that the bad weather yesterday
caused the pumps to pump slow and might be off calibration. I then told
him that was not my problem and that I was being charged for 4 or 5 gal.
that I didn't get. He then told the cashier to give me a $10.00 gift
card for the possible error. I was about to tell him that I was going to
call Paul Gates from WAFB and put his A--- on the 6:00 news.
Here is how to check a pump to see if you are getting
the right amount of fuel for your dollar:
Whichever grade of fuel you are using, put EXACTLY 10
GALLONS in your tank, then look at the dollar amount. The dollar amount
should be EXACTLY 10 times the price of the fuel you have chosen, if
not, then the pump is rigged.
It doesn't matter where you pump gas, please check the
10-gallon
price. If you do find a station that is cheating,
contact the proper
authorities in your state.
Please don't delete this message until you have sent it
to all people in your address book. We need to put a stop to this
outrageous cheating. The gas companies are making enough profit at high
rates.
excellent post! I just assumed that they would have to be honest. I never even thought
to 
it. I do know that i have to buy gas early in the morning before the fumes expand,
especially here in So CA where it gets so hot.
