The fuel pumps at gas stations are required by law to be calibrated. That's what those stickers on the pumps are for, they get regular inspections to test accuracy. Some stations tried to reprogram the electronic ones to overcharge you on anything but 5 or 10 gallons (where the tests were usually conducted to) but many states got wise and started varying the testing size and those responsible faced tough criminal charges.

You are right and a good example is in our area where weights and measures admits they are undermaned to the point that any given pump is only checked probably once every 3 or 4 years , regardless of what the seals say . |
