They can change the price in a second electronically and I am sure there must be a trick to change the flow rate given the crookedness that abounds these days. I know in SC the state checks them unannounced, but the dealers know how to avoid this easily.
I wonder which stations would be least likely to do this, probably a large company owned one would be less likely.
I would have to say in prior days that maybe some small station might try something if they could figure out how but with the public being as smart as they are now and on the alert if you will to people or businesses trying to pull the wool over their heads I really don't honestly think that anyone in their right mind would try to short change the gallon delivered at the pump.

The feds would be all over them and I would think since taxes are involved in every gallon delivered to the public that prison time would be in order and I don't think the normal business owner would take a chance on that.

However; anything is possibe.
