PHILADELPHIA - As gas price reach new highs, a Bucks County organization is making sure that drivers are getting their money's worth at the pump.

Bucks County Weights and Measures inspects over 160 local gas stations at least once a year to make sure the price on the pump matches the cost on the marquee board.

John Devito, a veteran member of Weights and Measures, told FOX 29 that pumps are allowed to be off by 6-cubic inches; which is about the size of a bathroom cup. "I have to get it to zero," Devito said. "I want to make sure [drivers] are getting what they pay for."Bucks County Weights and Measures helps ensure that every drop counts to drivers hammered by high gas prices.

The average price for an EV has surpassed $60K; here are some affordable options
LOS ANGELES - Energy prices are soaring across the world and American consumers are feeling the pain at the gas station and in their wallets. Amid the surge in gas prices, thousands of consumers have flocked to dealerships and secondhand marketplaces in hopes of procuring an electric vehicle to cut costs on fuel, but finding an affordable EV or hybrid is becoming increasingly out of reach for many. In February, the average sale price for an EV surpassed $60,000, according to the consumer data website Edmunds. Despite higher prices for EVs and limited availability, strong demand has more communities feeling increased pressure to add charging stations or risk having drivers pass them by in favor of plug-in-friendly areas. Costs have been coming down over the years, but Ford CEO Jim Farley revealed at the Bernstein Conference in early June that the battery pack in a Ford Mustang Mach-E is still around $18,000 to produce.In response to these soaring costs due to high demand, some manufacturers desperate to enter the market are offering affordable options for electric vehicles.Here are a few of today’s discounted electric rides:View from behind of red Chevrolet Bolt electric car, with logo and California DMV clean air access okay decal visible, in Danville, California, March, 2020.
