If I had a dime everytime I heard that complaint when I had my stations. I can't speak for your particular station, but our pumps were tested for both flow rate and dispensing accuracy once a week. You have to take into account the fill tube on your tank and the accuracy of your fuel guage when you try and make that argument. The fine from Weights and Measures is hefty if your pumps are off, so we made sure if anything they dispensed a little more than the readout on the pump.
