I just created a label for USPS Ground Advantage, and the page presented me the same rate for my 2 pound 12 ounce package as it would have charged me for the same package at 4 pounds. ($8.28) That can't be right.

@kds99 You are likely being charged the cubic rate, not the pound rate. So yes, perfectly right.
Here is an example of a 2lb 8x6x5 package going to my Zone 8 and a 4lb 8x6x5 going to my Zone 8. Both will cost me $9.65.
The price is the same, because USPS is charging me the cubic rate, not the pound weight.
