Geocaching Gas
Posted: Thu 2014-07-17, 14:22:13
gas to fuel Daisy Dakota for geocaching trips is included in my meager monthly budget...depending on those elusive nuances of the oil pricing cartel, some months we can't make as many trips...blessed recently, we are soooo happy to be heading to geobash week with prices inching closer to $3.00/gallon !!...
nevertheless, Babs1 forwarded an email today alerting me to still check at the pump the price i should be paying for - time to share...
Here is how to check a pump to see if you are getting the right amount:
Whichever grade you are using, put EXACTLY 1 (one) GALLON in your tank, then look at the dollar amount.
If the dollar amount is not EXACTLY the price of the fuel PRICE ADVERTISED, then the pumps are rigged.
Likewise, if your printed receipt amounts don't jibe, go inside the store, asked for a calculator and let them do the math.
when in doubt, Contact the state Agriculture Department, and direct your comments to the Commissioner, the info is on the gas pumps.
