- Description/Excerpt: In 2006, Michigan's gas inspectors checked more pumps than the previous three years combined. They found 1,358 faulty meters, handed down $250,000 in fines and condemned more pumps than ever before, according to a Detroit News analysis of more than a decade of inspection data.
The enforcement blitz paid off. State inspection records showed the chance of consumers getting less gas than they paid for -- either due to dilapidated pumps or intentional fraud -- fell by 60 percent.
