"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 gallon's to fill it up. When the pump showed 14 gallons had been pumped I began to slow it down, then to my surprise
it went to 15, then 16. I even looked under my truck to see if it was 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 heard 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 to see if you are getting the right amount:
Whichever grade you are using, 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 9/10 per gallon, my dollar amount for 10 gallons should have been $37.19. If I had only check 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 Georgia Agriculture Department, and direct your comments to Tommy Irvin, Commissioner. In other states contact proper authorities.
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 at honest rates."

This was emailed to me by a friend from church. I don't know who the original poster was, but it does sound very possible. ]]> aclowers http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/blogs/aclowers/1157-getting-gas-watch-pumps-carefully.html http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/blogs/aclowers/1139-i-need-prayer-please.html Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:44:32 GMT :wavehi: Hi all, over the past several months, I have felt that we as a group care for each other.

That said, I feel I should let you know that I have something major going on in my life and need your prayers and support.

Tomorrow, I am having a Pet scan done after church (no, it's not to tell if I own pets :giggle2:) I have a history of very aggressive breast cancer that spread to my lymph nodes 5 years ago. I now have some areas on my lungs that we have been cat scaning every 3 months( no cat's were harmed) to determined their growth ratio. My cancer doctor feels it is time to get my whole body scanned to rule out any other areas that may have been affected. I know, probably more info than anyone needed to know. I am very claustrophobic when it comes to small spaces that I can't move in, so I will have to be sedated for the test after church and probably will sleep most of the day. So, short story made long, sorry. please keep me in your prayers all day Sunday. I would appreciate it. Love you all. :talking3:
I have to be at the hospital in Cartersville at 1:30 Eastern time, and will probably be locked in the machine by 2:30 or 3pm. Thanks again for all your help in building my feedback and reps up after I was deleted. Thanks again. :grouphug: ]]> aclowers http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/blogs/aclowers/1139-i-need-prayer-please.html http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/blogs/aclowers/1094-thank-you-all-replacement-feedbacks.html Sat, 05 Apr 2008 01:32:29 GMT :BigHand: Thank you all so much who are helping us unfortunates who were accidentally deleted the other night, to build back up our trader... :BigHand: Thank you all so much who are helping us unfortunates who were accidentally deleted the other night, to build back up our trader feedbacks, reps, pm's.
