Thumbs up 34 percent of South Florida gas stations fail pump tests in last three years

34 percent of South Florida gas stations fail pump tests in last three years


When South Florida drivers buy gasoline, they trust they are getting what they pay for at the pump . . . . . not always the case.

Some gas pumps break down, shortchanging consumers. Others malfunction in ways that give customers more than they pay for. And in some cases, experts and state regulators say gas pumps are deliberately altered.

In South Florida, 34 percent of the gas stations inspected in the past three years had at least one gas pump that failed accuracy tests used to determine if the devices are giving consumers the correct amount of gas they pay for, a South Florida Sun-Sentinel analysis found.
