View Full Version : Cumberland Farms Gas Scam
Fishoholic 07-27-2011, 10:39 AM Anyone here ever get gas from a cumby's and feel like that needle should have went up a little farther?
They always seem to have the lowest prices so I often go there for gas. I always thought I should be getting more but just brushed it off. I have a good friend who's girlfriend works at one and after mentioning it to her she said "ohh yeah... don't ever get gas from us.. even I go somewhere else" Last night I did a test and went to shell. It 10$ to get the needle exactly where it took 15$ from cumbys... and yes I'm sure I started at the same point... :uhuh:

Don't know how accurate that is. I have filled tanks at Cumbys & Hess & Stop & Shop and I'm always about where I expect to be .
In fact, my semi informal calculations (miles per tank, fuel computer) tend to make me think I get better MPG on Cumbys (Gulf) fuel.
Fishoholic 07-27-2011, 10:47 AM maybe so.. but it still alarmed me that the girl that worked there said not to get gas there.. I'm a cheap bastage so I can't help but wonder
Grapenuts 07-27-2011, 11:18 AM take a clearly maked one gal. gas tank with you and then fill it to the line ,then look at the pump meter.
Jackbass 07-27-2011, 12:12 PM Impossible. Unless the owners are messing with the veeder root system which is also almost impossible. Gas stations have to be Inspected for accuracy fairly regularly. Think about it the government I not going to allow anything to mess with gas taxes and how.much they are collecting.

PaulS 07-27-2011, 12:37 PM yeah, I think the pumps get certified pretty regularly.

No offense to the hard working blue collar person/s who work at the various Cumbies but, I trust the weights and measure guy, not her.
