Anyone who pays attention knows that Woodman's offers the area's cheapest gasoline prices.
But maybe not.
...Last August, the state claimed it found some meters, at this particular Woodman's, were over-reporting usage. That means, drivers paid full price for gas, but got less than what was paid for....
That location was on Hy. 145 in Menomonee Falls.
The State says that the fuel pump service contractor is to blame.
...DATCP ordered the station's service technician, Northwest Petroleum Service, to correct the meters within two weeks.
On Aug. 29, DATCP went back to inspect the pumps and found a majority of the meters sampled were still over-reporting.
"We have seen times where there's been multiple occurrences of non-compliance. We then elevate our enforcement efforts much more from a warning letter or red tag, up to possibly a civil forfeiture," Joe Smith explained....
Northwest eventually paid a $2,200.00 fine. They did not respond to Channel4's phone calls.
