you might want to stay clear of stations run by this company:

I took my 5 gallon fuel can up to the local BP a week ago and put 6 gallons in it and it was just to the "fill line" I thought I grabbed my 6 gallon can at first. I still have to call the county auditor on that one.

Imagine 4 bucks extra for every 5 gallons bought.

from what i hear there are some station owners that feel they've been left out of the profits loop. they see so many people making so much money because of record oil prices, yet in some cases their profits are flat or declining because Americans are buying less fuel, and when they fuel up they're less likely to spend more money on snacks and drinks because of the high prices.

Boo Hoo....They should have left them as "service staions" instead of turning them all into a big snack machines.
BTW, it took 5.2gal to fill my 5 gal can also.

AHA!

Perhaps this explains how I was able to pump 40 gallons of #2 into a 35 gallon tank...

it being summer and you being in Texas, maybe this can explain some of the discrepancy:
