Default Ridiculous Gas price!!

well i stopped this weekend for a fill up just outside indy, and filled up my tank with shell premium. Started the pump and went to wash the windows. I had about 1/4th tank left when i started the fill. The pump clicked off and I had 13 gallons pumped into the car. then i looked at the price and it was Just over 4 bucks!!! They had set the pumps to dispense premium at 0.33/gal. anyone else had this happen?

Did you tell the attendant? It was an obvious error...

We all hate you right now, you lucky son of a mother. I hope you didn't tell the attendant, gas prices are ridiculous right now; I'd take $0.33/gal and run! Then, I'd come back with a bunch of gas cans and fill those up to keep in my garage.

Yeah I told the attendant after my tank was full. I didnt want the guy to get fired, in case it was his fault. BUT, i didn't pay any extra, so i did get MY tank, and from the looks of the cars at the station, i was the only one in a pretty wide area buying premium.

The best thing that has happened to me in gas prices lately is them running out of Silver and having to give me Premium for the silver price, ah well, maybe one day i'll stumble on some free gas haha.
