With gas prices fluctuating across Central Indiana, WRTV Investigates KaraKenney6 found out if drivers are pumping what they pay for.
While that’s 71 cents lower than a month ago, many drivers are still feeling the pinch.
They check to make sure the pumps are within tolerance, meaning they’re pumping the right amount, or if they’re out of tolerance. “Unfortunately, the station is waiting on a fuel drop and they're out of two of the grades,” Gebert said. “So, if we can't test it, we've shut it down until we can test it for tolerance."“They're not going to be able to dispense anything until we come out and make sure it's working properly,” Gebert said.And of those, about half are in the gas station’s favor and the other half are in the driver’s favor, according to Weights and Measures.
“We have found in the past that when errors occur, they favor the customer most of the time,” said Scot Imus, executive director of the Indiana Food and Fuel Association. “It’s in every ones best interest to ensure pumps are accurate. When retailers operate on thin margins, they can’t afford to lose even a fraction of a penny.”
"Technically Marion County does not have an ordinance, there's no fine system or anything like that,” Gebert said. “If I thought it was so severe that I would say it's a danger to the public, I would contact state level."That means it has passed a tolerance test and an inspection.
