Yes, it is the Bureau of Weights and Measures. They check the pumps to make sure they distribute a correct amount of fuel. They use to just pump 10 gal. and make sure that it is correct, but one station set their pumps to only distribute 10 gal. correctly and less fuel for every other amount. So the test is no longer standard amounts.

Absolutely,...and if you have a question about a certain gas station contact your states attorney generals office and they will direct the complaint to the proper authoritites.

Yes, but you can check it yourself by stopping at exactly 10 gallons and checking if the numbers add up.

yes, and gas staions get fined if they are not working properly or if they have been altered in anyway.
