In 2022, more than 8% of suburban gas pumps failed inspection, but that's still a better rate than in…

Motorists filling up at the Thorntons in Third Lake last year had a one in three shot of getting a pump that wasn't dispensing the right amount of fuel.

While the suburban failure rate was higher than the statewide failure rate of 6.9% last year, it was still lower than that of the previous four years in the suburbs, including 2020 when it was nearly 9%. Sharp said aging equipment that has become harder to replace because of supply chain issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic likely is responsible for what ends up being an uptick in inspection failures over the past decade.

It is extremely rare for the meters to be intentionally tampered with. So rare that multiple weights and measures division workers couldn't recall coming across such a case.
