The website, Michigan.gov/gasinfo, is a new consumer protection resource monitored by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
MDARD Director Gary McDowell said, “One of MDARD’s key goals is ensuring consumers are getting both the quality and quantity of the gas they’re buying, and we appreciate those stations who continue to put customers first.”
McDowell said, “Our Laboratory Division’s Weights and Measures Program regulates the sale of motor fuel and prevents economic harm by looking for credit card skimmers and ensuring pumps are accurate. MDARD employees are committed to making sure Michiganders are protected, especially over the holidays.”
The new website gives instructions for making a complaint about gas price gouging and has information on how to detect gas pump credit card skimmers that can steal financial information.
