South Georgia gas pump investigation resolved

A lawyer for the owners of two south Georgia truck stops says the facilities did not rig gas pumps that shorted customers gasoline. Last month, state agriculture officials stepped-in to close two Cisco Travel Plazas on Interstate-95. Officials said customers were getting a quart less for every five gallons bought. The truck stops' lawyer says vandalism to gas pumps is the reason customers got less gas than what they bought. The station owners paid the state 250-thousand dollars in fines--other fines will be waived if there are no problems for two years.
