Triangle gas stations have received complaints for overcharging customers

North Carolina’s 41 cent a gallon gas tax is suspended through Nov. 30, in an effort to lower the cost for consumers at the pump. N.C. Fuel Check was announced as part of an effort to make sure gas station operators are charging appropriately following the suspension of the tax. Attorney General Jeff Jackson wants to use the tool to make sure savings are passed along to the consumer, The News & Observer previously reported. More than 450 people have filed complaints through the N.C. Fuel Check Portal as of Tuesday, Oct. 20, according to Jackson’s office.
