10-mile fill-up on return?

I recently rented from Dollar and filled up before returning to BOS. Turns out I was 12 miles (according to the desk clerk) and the rule is you must fill up within 10 miles of the airport or be charged a 2-gallon fee (in this case ~$8.00). My question is, anyone else experiencing this? Is it reasonable to ask for a fill-up receipt at the time of rental of the car to see just how many gallons are in the tank? The car I rented got much more than 10 mpg, so this seems like a scam.
