    I just paid $2.82/gallon for 89 octane. Someone - somewhere - fat fingered the wrong price into the system at a local Valero station. 92 Octane = $3.83/gallon 89 Octane = $2.82/gallon 87 Octane = $3.69/gallon (my typical purchase)

    An honest person would have pointed the mistake out to the attendant.

      Just to let you know. In some places, maybe your cheap gas may not have been as cheap as you thought. If you used a debit or credit card to pay for your purchase, the company could correct the pumps mistake later and take out the difference on your card. If you happened to pay in cash then your in luck and they have no way to get the loss back. I think its a crock that they can charge you later for their mistake but I read about in the paper and the company has the right to do it.

      They can't make an unauthorized charge against an account, and I'll spend exorbitant amounts of money to fight them, just on principal.

            Well, Canadians have a valid reason to be pissed since we are the single largest supplier of oil and gas to the U.S. yet we pay close to European prices.

              Yup, it's a time honored tradition for those fairly close to the border, a weekend shopping trip, gas up etc. At least it was until the new tighter border restrictions went into affect, now it's just not worth the hassle to cross the border for anything short of life saving surgery.
