Summary of Key Points Core Viewpoint - The Chengdu High-tech Zone Market Supervision Administration is investigating a complaint regarding a gas station that allegedly overcharged a customer by filling a 50-liter fuel tank with 67.96 liters of gasoline, indicating potential issues with fuel dispensing accuracy and regulatory compliance [1][5][6]. Group 1: Incident Details - A customer named Mr. Yang reported that on August 9, he was charged for 67.96 liters of gasoline at a gas station operated by China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) in Chengdu, despite his vehicle's fuel tank capacity being only 50 liters [5][6]. - The gas station insisted on charging based on the pump's reading, leading to Mr. Yang's complaints to multiple authorities and a request to seal the faulty pump [5][6]. - The gas station's management later attempted to refund the excess charge privately, but the pump remained unsealed for ten days without further explanation [5][6]. Group 2: Regulatory Context - The incident is part of a broader issue, as the Market Supervision Administration has been conducting a nationwide campaign against fuel dispenser fraud since August 2023, with 1,249 cases investigated and a total of 2 billion yuan involved [6]. - The campaign aims to address consumer complaints regarding fuel dispensing accuracy and ensure compliance with regulations [6]. Group 3: Industry Insights - There have been previous instances of consumers believing they were overcharged due to discrepancies between the actual fuel tank capacity and the labeled capacity, as demonstrated by a case in Shanxi where a 28-liter tank was filled with 42 liters [7][10]. - The industry acknowledges that while some discrepancies may arise from consumer misunderstanding, there are also genuine cases of malpractice by gas stations [10].
