Note: The Arizona Department of Transportation is not responsible for regulating the proper measurement (fuel volume) of motor fuels (gasoline, diesel, propane, etc), or for analyzing fuel octane levels. If you feel that a fuel pump is not dispensing the indicated volume of fuel, or that fuel fails to meet octane standards, you should contact the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures.
