LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Each year, inspectors from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture inspect the roughly 60,000 gas pumps across the state. They check the quality and quantity of fuel at every pump. Inspectors look for signs of bad gas and complete a weights and measures test to make sure you actually get the gallon of gas you pay for. They also check for skimmers, which are devices that criminals use to steal your credit card information.
