For conversation only......

I have read and seen some info that claims in modern gas stations with equipment in good working order do not give you all the gas you are paying for...

The faster the pumps the less fuel you're getting.. many claim to take the extra 30 seconds and pump slower... Personally I can't stand those super slow pumps but......
 
If weights and measures is cheating me... I have some compliance things at work I need to go take care of. :confused:
One video claims that's not the issue but the pump design...
I'm sure we have guys in the industry here that can answer this
 
I doubt that, but who knows.

I have a friend who drains the hose after refilling. He'll reach up the nozzle receptacle to turn off the pump. Then he holds the nozzle open while lifting the hose. This causes the pump to recharge the hose with 1 or 2 cents worth when the next person uses it.

He's a really good friend, but this annoys me.

When you’re filling up, do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode.

You will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. You should be pumping on the slow or medium modes, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you’re getting less fuel for your money.
 
I have seen a few videos debunking the early morning, late evening fill ups... do i know...nope
