Hypothesis:   Some gas stations' pumps are not reflecting the amounts of gas you put into your tank.   So, a call to action is requested.

To confirm or negate this hyporthesis, all of San Diego County residents are challenged to check each pump used to make sure you're getting what you pay for by taking the time to protect yourself and stop any potential rip-offs.  Whichever grade you are using, put EXACTLY 10 GALLONS in your tank and look at the dollar amount.  If the dollar amount is not EXACTLY 10 times the price of  the fuel you have chosen, then the pump is rigged. 

MY last bright idea, charging gas on a gas rebate card, did not go over too well because

1) the cheapest stations usually do not accept credit cards, and

2) there is a risk/cost if you do not pay off you credit bill each month.

I found a solution to the first issue:

ARCO is often amongst the lowest prices on fueltracker, but does not take credit cards.

Thay have  a PumpPass gist card whihc you can buy at  CVS using one of the credit cards that give 5% rebates for drugstoes.

I believe there is one other way to help lower the fossil fuel use. I am amazed no one has thought of this! I am amazed that neither Steven Jobs nor Bill Gates has stepped up with this idea!

Gas prices: whether they're going up or down, we want to hear your thoughts.

Here at UCAN, we recognize the importance of considering creative new alternatives to difficult policy questions.  That is why we want to hear your thoughts on the price of gasoline, the supply of oil, and the future of transportation in general.  Are there alternatives that have not been widely publicized?  What about policy options that have thus far been left off the table?  This is the place to put that information back on the table.
