Mid-A fuel pump FAIL
Just filled up today and noticed this out of the corner of my eye.
As if 4 dollar per gallon gas was not enough. I watched it for about 10 seconds thinking to myself "who would believe this" then throwing up the and whipping out my iPhone. Reposted from the general section of the forum since it is relevant to MD..

Uh Oh, busted... I have to agree it's kind of disturbing. I hope you got to fill up for free after than. When I first saw the video post; I thought you completely filled up the car for $46. I just dumped $73 yesterday filling mine up

WTF?!?! Hope you gave that place hell! Hmmm lets see... filler is out of the gas tank, yet the cost continues to rise. Like oil companies need to screw us out of even more money...

That is truly pathetic, their profit margins on gas are small but come on. Did you report them?
