Yup, looks like variations of it have been going around for at least a year.




In my state, gas pumps are certified and verified by the state-anybody doing anything like this would be in serious trouble PDQ.

wow,when ever i get gas i always get a dollar amount like i put in $20 worth and go by that,the dollar thing ticking up to $20...

im gonna start going by the litre to see if they have been calibrated or rigged to rip us off here

i have suspected this before because sometimes 20 dollars fills in about 30 seconds and sometimes it takes longer but i assumed it was pump pressure or something and when it gets to the last 10 cents it slows right down

Did no one read my post? Or the OP? The way they say to test for it wouldn't work if they are ripping us off in the way that letter says they are...

it depends on how they rig the machine.

the best test is to take a one gallon jug, that has an accurate 1 gallon fill mark.  fill it up and see if it matches the price advertized.

Yeah that would work. You have to have something that you can see into though, they way they were describing it with the gas tank wouldn't work very well, unless you knew your tank was COMPLETELY empty

Trooper, I realized that exact thing when reading the article as well.  It is fake.  This isn't a common occurance.  But of course, whenever something is "fucking" over the American public, it has already happened to Pris at LEAST once or twice.  :smirk:

I've pumped "13 gallons" into my 10 gallon tank on several occassions, I just thought maybe I was wrong about how many gallons my tank held.  I didn't even think about checking to make sure in the manual until I read this post, and sure enough, my tank only holds 10 gallons.  I'll have sum wurd ta say next time! :hillbilly:

I got a brand new prepaid gas card as a present once, to make a long story short it had already been used in a completely different state then I live in, and when I called head quarters they just called me a liar and told me I already used it.
