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.
If skyhigh fuel prices weren't enough, instances of fraud and malfunctioning gas station equipment could also victimize drivers.
