Someone passed this on to me, so from me to you:

I used to love these things. Gas is gas, right, if it has the same octane level? (Maybe not; I vaguely remember some company advertising additives.)

But then Robin started eliminating various gas stations when their pumps claimed to have pumped him more gas than his tank would hold. Gas stations lie about how much gas they're giving you? So they're not really as cheap as they say? The slime!

You can probably report these stations to some authority, but I haven't researched that.

Every town has a "weights and measures" officer, who checks the pumps every so often (as well as butcher's scales, and any number of other things). They'll leave a sticker with their name, number, and when the pump was checked, prominently displayed on the pump. Stations are not allowed to pump gas without one on each pump. If it happens to you, take down the number and tell them. They live for that. I think there's also a state agency that oversees them...
