Cheating at the Gas Pumps
This is a true story, so read it carefully. On April 24, 2008, I stopped at a Kangaroo BP gas station, located at 1325 Main Street, Cartersville,GA. My truck's gas gauge was on 1/4 of a tank. I use the mid-grade,which was priced at $3.71 per gallon. When my tank is at this point, it takes somewhere around 14 gallons to fill it up.

When the pump showed 14gallons had been pumped, I began to slow it down, then to my surpriseit went to 15, then 16. I even looked under my truck to see if anywas being spilled. It was not. Then it showed 17 gallons had been
pumped. It stopped at almost 18 gallons.

This was very strange to me,since my truck has only an 18 gallon tank. I went on my way a little confused, then on the evening news I hea rd a report that 1 out of 4 gas stations had calibrated their pumps to show more gas had
been pumped than a person actually got.

Here is how to check a pump tosee if you are getting the right amount: Put EXACTLY 10 GALLONS in your tank, then look at the dollar amount. If the dollar amount is not EXACTLY 10 times the price of the fuel you have chosen, then the pumps are rigged. In my case, as I said, the mid-grade was $3.71.9 per gallon. My dollar amount for 10 gallons should have been $37.19.

If I had only checked the pump...

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 Attorney General of your state

Please don't delete this until you have sent it to all people in your address book. We need to put a stop to this outrageous cheating of customers. The gas companies are making enough profits without cheating us more!
