Got lucky today..... I stopped at the corner Shell station on the way to a job site in my personal car (02 Z28) to get some gas.
Premium Unleaded was $0.297 a gallon!!!!!!
Whoever did the price change today screwed up the decimal point on the pump, it was supposed to be $2.97 a gallon from what the sign said.
Called the GF but by the time she got there 20mins or so later to fill up her SUV they already had the price fixed.

I saw that in Houston once. The news helicopter was over the station, showing a line down the street. It took them about 3-4 hours to figure it out, but not before they surely lost thousands.

Happened sometime in dallas, at a quicktrip, only problem was, they went after alot of the cars they seen on the camera's for stealing, if you knew about it, it is stealing, well u still payed for it, thats what i say.

I got the same deal at the shell on major after I left kohls one night. It cost me 8 bucks to feel up. I was getting pissed that it was taking so long for the counter to go up then all of the sudden the pump clicked.

error on the service stations part does not constitute stealing. just like if a business mails you something you didn't order (ie extra car parts), it's legally yours.
