[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 659096, member: 4386"] Since nearly half as many errors (2.2%) were errors in favour of the consumer, their statement re $9 to $29 million lost by customers seems an exaggeration (which surprises me for an authority of this type). It does not seem major to me, given that in many years it has been equally as much to the customers advantage. The limit of 0.3% is a fairly tight maximum error (300 ml in every 100 litres - most car customers probably get closer to half that amount of petrol per refill, so perhaps 200 ml). I don't think I will measure my local APCO servo, since he is typically nearly 15% cheaper per litre than elsewhere, commonly a $20 savings per fill in my 4x4 (seems to beat a 30c overcharge)..
