Gas Station Rant
 
/Begin rant

I always fill up at the same station , a full serve gulf in my town that doesn't charge extra for credit cards. Always been good to me.

I pull in tonight and the light has been on for a bit so I need a whole tank. The fiance and I pull up, the only car in the station, and the attendent comes out.

Window down I ask for a fill of premium (93 here). He goes about his thing, I fiddle with the G and S settings while I fill up and think to glance over to see how many gallons I'm up to. Much to my surprise I'm up to 10.9 gallons ... of 87.

Just as I see this it clicks off cause I'm full. I ask the guy if he filled it with regular :

Guy: yea.
Me: I asked for premium.
Guy: <blank stare> I can , ah, give you one of those booster things?
Me: ... No, forget it.

Annnnd scene.

I know it's one tank and it won't hurt anything but fuck, man, YOU HAD ONE JOB!!! ONE. FAAAAAAACK!!!!

Top it off when I get home my pho didn't come with any hot peppers. I love those things.

Goddamnit.

The station is about a mile from my house so it wasn't exactly a good test. I didn't notice anything but I'm expecting to notice more in the mileage department.

Dis why I pump my own gas (I know you probably live where you cant) but still.

People get paid to mess up peoples orders of refined liquid dinosaurs.

Would have totally hit em up for the octane booster and for some fuel injector cleaner for free. Otherwise threaten to call have have the tank pumped and have them put the correct stuff, foot them the bill.

just saying.

Maybe if he gave me the right gas and my car was more fuel efficient it would run cleaner and reduce the greenhouse effect just enough to shift the polar vortex and allow a farmer to grow a little more food this spring and then sell it at market for a little less allowing that starv'n person to afford a corn based Frito lay product.

Or maybe I'm as asshole. Either way :)

It should have been 3.79. The regular was 3.49. Much savings.

I'm in MA , are you in CA? CT blows to buy gas too.
