Re: wrong price on gas station sign...do they have to honor it?
This is a common thing around here too. The signs are constantly wrong...
Now a true problem that I have constantly had around here is that when you start to pump gas, the digital read-out rolls up to about $1.10 to $1.50 before it even starts to pump fuel.
Last time I know it happened because I was filling a cas can and it struck me as odd that nothing had started to splash into the container and yet I was already being charged over a dollar. I stopped imediatley and brung this to the attendants attention. She said that it because the hose had to fill up first. I said fine, and was not going to bother arguing any further. Just to see what I came out with I again started to fill the container with the same result. When I was done filling a 5 Gallon gas can, the digital read-out said I had pumped 7.2 gallons of fuel.... I promptly called the phone number on the pump to the fed. regulations of fuel or something like that. They have you leave your name, phone number, and a message/complaint.
About two weeks later I got a letter in the mail asking for a reciept from the fuel purchased that day. I sent it to them, and the next week got a refund check from the gas station that I used that day. Funny thing was though, I got no explanation as to what the problem was. Be it the pump was fualty or if the station owner had the pump read-out set too fast
It's bad enough that the price is high, but to gouge us further is just ridiculous.
