At a State Administration for Market Regulation briefing on tackling fuel‑pump
fraud, regulators said meter manipulation and tax evasion distort competition
and harm consumers. Since 2025 SAMR has targeted high‑incidence
areas—urban‑rural junctions and national/provincial road corridors—stepping up
inspections and technical screening; it has filed 399 cases with total case
value 270 mln yuan and imposed fines/confiscations of 143 mln yuan.
