Well I guess my question is what should I do?

I actually did go back to the guy and yell at him and he gave me $5 bucks worth of free gas after all my complaining. lol

Should I file a complaint with the BBB or Department of Consumer Affairs or something? Even though it's a small amount of gas, there's some shadiness going on at that gas station. The guy did rig the pump.

Oh, and it's the BP near Astoria Blvd and 31st St. Right near the entrance to the Grand Central Parkway. AVOID at all costs if you're in Astoria.

I would report it to the local county or city weights and measures?. That dept makes sure pumps and public scales and such are calibrated and will fine crooks like this gas station owner if they find their fixing the pumps. You would be surprised how much money they make doing that.

Sorry, I was being silly. I'm sorry to hear what happened. Can't give you any advice.
