The gas station takes the hit, not the oil companies.

Yeah but what your not considering is that they don't take a gallon of crude oil and turn it into a gallon of gasoline....So that 2.50 makes several gallons, Face it, a barrel hasn't been under 80 sense the mid 90's. It's because they know that their runs are going to end eventually and they wanna be the richest people on the planet. They know it wont last forever. It's supply and demand not the price of the barrel.

I would have done the same thing as you Lemon. It would be one thing if it was saying 3.33 and when you pumped your gas they forgot to charge you so you left without saying anything. When someone post a price they have to sell it for what's it's advertised. That person fucked up. They had a job and they failed their job task, it's buissness...Happens all the time.

I aggree the store took the lick but oh well bet it wont happen again, lesson learned, as far as the price going up there, doubtful. Prices are too competetive, if joe shmoe sells it for a dollar you gotta sell it for .99 if you wanna sell any. If they raise the price everybody will just go down the road..

GOOD FIND LEMON!!!!!!

as for the sitting there so no one else could get gas... i didnt feel like getting shot dude.. that would have been a big mistake....

Dude I'd of brought anything an everything that could hold gas. even if it ran out faster then it went in.

lol nice! the same thing happened at a place around here last year except it was a problem with the gallon counter but it was for 93 and only on 1 pump. I filled up for $1.15, the lady gave me a confused sort of look when I came into pay because I was standing at the pump for so long but the station didnt figure it out til the next day. I sent a text to everyone in my phone book to come fill up on the 93
