Most states (or sometimes cities and/or counties) have some sort of Department of Weights and Measures with authority to make sure that gas pumps are correct. You should file a report directly with them. I recall a TV report a couple years ago about stations in California where the owners had replaced the chips in the gas pumps with ones that would overcharge the customer by overstating the amount of gas delivered. Obviously the Chevron stations pump is not measuring correctly. This can be the result of a faulty pump (it happens) or the result of deliberate rip-off. The cashier's refusal to respond to your problem makes it look suspicious.
