Franchot: Protect Yourself at the Pump

The Comptroller's office is in charge of Motor Fuel Inspection. Today, Comptroller Peter Franchot visited the Motor Fuel Testing Laboratory in Jessup and participated in a live analysis of gasoline samples to highlight the agency’s efforts to protect consumers at the pump. Comptroller Franchot:

As the July 4th weekend approaches and Marylanders get ready to hit the road, I believe it is important to educate consumers about what they can do to protect themselves at the pump at a time when the family budget is tight.

The work done daily at this facility is vital in our agency’s efforts to prevent the sale of poor quality fuel and ensure that people get their monies worth each time they visit the gas station.

Franchot also unveiled tips for motorists on his website. These tips are designed to save you money at the pump. Check it out and pass it on.
