It's the cheapest gas, by far, in the area. What's not to like?
Well, the gas might actually not be as cheap as you think it is. I'm not big into conspiracy theories, but I truly do believe that they've tampered with their gas pumps to make them charge for more gas than you actually get.
I know my car. When I was younger, I used to get gas whenever my tank went under half full, but now that I'm older and wiser (and more miserly), I drive way less than I used to, and I know that gas prices fluctuate over time, so I don't fill up until I have to, which is usually every other month, unless I'm driving to or from SoCal. My tank is pretty small, so when I do fill up, it's usually around 8 gallons or so. I've only seen the low-fuel light blink twice on my car, and both those times, I got about 9.1 gallons.
When I came to this gas station, I needed gas, but not desperately. I wasn't even down to a single bar, which means the most gas I should have gotten was about 8 gallons. So you can bet that I was surprised when the pump shut off and I had supposedly filled my car with 9.3 gallons of gasoline. That had never happened before, and I don't believe it happened this time.
Yup, they're scammers. Don't worry; I already registered a complaint with the county Weights and Measures Department. read more
