Do you ever check to see that the price of gas is the amount you get ?

Question

Meaning have you ever put one gallon of gas in the tank and compared the price to the amount shown on the sign ? I did the other day and I think it was off a couple of cents.

Answer 1

Do you lift the hose up to get all the gas out of the hose?  The meter works from the bowser so there is still some gas left in the hose.  Sometimes the bowser's calibration is off.

Answer 2

those pumps are suppose to be checked by your counties weights and measures department. If you think that a pump is off you can report it. Sometimes they can be off either by accident or in some cases purpose

Answer 3

After getting ripped off about a year ago, I always check. Plus, I make sure that the amount in gallons I put in makes a logical amount. You can't put 22 gallons in a 16 gallon tank.
