Gas gauges are not designed for the measurements you are trying to make. Case in point, you claim that at another station, $10 takes you from empty to 1/2 tank. At $4/gal. that's about 2.5 gallons. Do you really have a 5 gallon tank?
If you think the Sunoco station pumps are off, the easy (and actually scientific) way to check is to get a 1 gallon container and pump one gallon of gas. That's what the State regulators do. Your wild conjecture so far means nothing (actually it proves you don't know what you're talking about).

Although you have clearly done some exhausting scientific testing to prove the gas station is not dispensing enough gas, why don't you contact the state instead? Your state should have a department of weights and measures. They come out and put the little sticker on the gas pumps showing it has been inspected. if they are not dispensing the right amount of gas, the state department will catch them quick. Simply report them.
And what kind of car do you have that you expect 10$ to be half a tank? That's not even 3 gallons of gas. You have a 6 gallon tank? 1/4 of a tank of gas for 10$ sounds a lot more reasonable than 1/2
