Beware - Gas Stations Cheating At Gas Pumps - Check Your Receipt!

CHEATING at the gas pumps (PRINT OUT YOUR RECEIPTS!!!) 

This email was sent to me by a friend whose cousin is the LA fire captain. 

This is true. It happened to them three weeks ago somewhere in Pomona on our way to Pechanga. The pump should have totaled @ $68.00 (and change). When the receipt was printed, and she checked it was $77.00 (and change). 

She got mad, went inside the store, asked for a calculator and let them do the math. They refunded her. she told them that if they cheat, they had better make it right. Normally, her husband would skip printing the receipt. Not her! 

We saw on the news the other night that this is 
happening everywhere. 

Brian pumped exactly one gallon of gas. The price did not match the cost of one gallon. It was higher.. He went inside and complained, got a refund. 

There is also a number on each pump that you can call and complain. 

This is a true story, so read it carefully. 

On April 24, 2008, I stopped at a BP gas station in GA. My truck's gas gauge was on1/4 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 gallons 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 on the pump. It stopped at 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 pumpto see if you are getting the right amount: 

Whichever grade you are using, put 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. I wish I had checked 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 state Agriculture Department, and direct your comments to the Commissioner - the information is on the gas pumps. 


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.

Why Do They Do That?

That's what I want to know. I know your wondering what am I going on about? Well it's just that I have been looking for a way to make some good money online for some time now. And every time I find some one who has this system that'll make you money day and night and on auto pilot to boot. (Why Do They Do That?) Yeah right, how many times have I gotten taken for a ride and end up with less money than I started with. And I'm broke, can't find a job to fund what I want to do. I'm collecting cans that I sell for 70 cents a pound. I've striped copper wire that I've sold for 3 bucks a pound. I'm having a hard time in this world right now. But I'm not a quitter and I keep going on. Now I've found Empower Network and at last I know that I will succeed in my online business. And I'm making 100% commissions.  Because they are teaching me things about making a living with an online business that I can use to make my life better.

Now Empower Network is doing a re-launch because some things had to be changed so everyone would get paid. In order to do that they have set up an ewallet so everyone joining now and others who could not get a merchant account will now get paid for their work. This company is growing fast and as they go into re-launch they will be growing even faster. Allot of people are hearing all the buzz about Empower Network. And remember that they also help you build any business that you are already doing. My question to you who are reading this is, will you now be with us as we join together and help others who are looking to better their lives for their families? Will you do what it takes and join at the $25 dollar level and go through the fast start training and get in on the blogging platform? This isn't like the other companies I was talking about earlier. This is a place where you will be empowered to make a good living with your online business or with just the Empower Network. So why haven't you joined yet? Remember 100% commissions are yours for the taking, NO ONE else does this.

So Why Do They Do That? Well the best I can figure is to fill their pockets with your money, why else. They know allot of people are searching the internet looking for that pot of gold so they can afford to live better. This economy really does suck but like Dave Wood says we can band together and fight the forces of evil. Those evil people selling out dated junk and programs that don't work. You really think they're gonna tell everything? Think again, they will tell you enough to fill their pockets and nothing more. It's happened to me and when I try to contact them I can't. They don't respond. But I found a place where the people care about us where the co-founders where where I am now. They turned that whole thing around and now they are here to help us do the same. They understand what we are going through and they are giving us the tools to succeed. That's why I'm apart ofEmpower Network. Join me now and lets male our life better too, plus we'll be fighting the forces of evil.
