They rigged the gas pumps to not give you the amount of gas that the pump registered! I always wondered about that crap and who monitors that... COMPLETE B.S. and way way below humanly in these tough times...
How about that GAS COMPANY in TEXAS scam!

that's just wrong, when it takes 70$ to full up my little 3000GT guess thats why you should know how many gallons you car holds. hopefully they got shut down.

Unfortunately this happens, but it is a very rare that this happens. Usually when there is a problem with a pump it is in the customer's favor.
I know that here in NC the state's Department of Agriculture checks the dispensers at a gas station. I am sure that it is a similar situation in most states. I also believe that the stations are checked at least once a year, unless otherwise requested by the station operator or a consumer.

I know in california the department of weights and measures used to check the pumps regularly. It would be really easy to set the pumps up to short a ounces or so a gallon and not get nailed. They just pump 5 gallons into a can to check it. Over the course of a year that small amount would really add up.
