Oh okay.. I must have misread your post..
My advice if you think you are being scammed.. Your best bet would be to take a 5 gallon hand gas tank.. Fill her up to 5 gallons and see if you are really being scammed..
Ive done it a few times, and found 2 out of every 10 places do scam you by a few pennies.. Some scam you 10 cents at a time..
Not much but if 10000 people get gas that day.. thats 10 cents times 10000.
It adds up..

Ethanol burns up a lot faster then petrol.
I was looking at buying a Tahoe a couple weeks ago. According to chevy the Tahoe gets 15-20mpg. Unless you use ethanol, then it gets 11-15mpg.
I read that juicy tidbit in one of their books at the dealership. I'll try to find it online.
The salesman tried to make a big deal about the ethanol and how "green" the truck was. I looked at him like he was nuts. How is it better for the environment to pay 20 extra cents per gallon and have to use half again as much fuel as you would without it?
Whatta bunch of stooges...
Anyways, I think this is a more likely scenario but who am I, right?
