You’ve no doubt seen the stickers on gas pumps, or on scales at the grocery store, indicating that the device has been inspected by the State. But do they always pass that inspection? The Wisconsin Department of Ag, Trade and Consumer Protection says, “No, but they almost always do”.
A report released Monday by the Bureau of Weights and Measures shows that in 2020, over a quarter million inspections were conducted at nearly 6,000 locations, and results should give consumers confidence. According to DATCP administrator Lara Sutherlin, Wisconsin gas pumps delivered either the right amount, or over-delivered nearly 100% of the time. Prices at the register were also accurate or in the customer’s favor in 98% of the tests. The weights posted on packages sold by weight, such as ground beef, scored 99% accuracy, and almost 99% of fuel tested satisfied the national quality standards.
