This is not really a rant or rave about the PRICE of fuel, but I figured it would get moved anyway, so I'll just post this link here.
This article from the Houston Chronicle explains how Texans anyway (and I suspect other states as well) are likely getting shorted of the fuel they buy - by malfunctiong gas/fuel pumps - which just adds insult to injury to those angry about high fuel prices.
How can you know for sure - unless your tank is almost completely empty when you fill up - or you are filling a special size gas can, etc. - so you are just at the mercy of the state to do its job. The article states that the state only checks pump measurements every four years, unless there is a specific complaint.
