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 :facepalm: and whipping out my iPhone.

Whiskey tango foxtrot... those sneaky bastards!

f*cking ridiculous.

greedy, greedy, greedy bastiches.

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 :ugh2:

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... :facepalm:

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

Obviously the gas was being teleported into your fuel tank, so you couldn't see it. Knowing this, the gas pump was charging you for the teleported fuel :p

Dude, thats crazy... As for my gas situation, my Z has been retired temporarily, I had to jump on the motorcycle..

So did the pump stop counting? If it did, I suppose the computer itself could have just been lagging severely. It's a computer so it could happen.

Wow.

That's definitely not acceptable -- hope you reported this.

BJ Gas or FU Gas? :icon17:

Not a computer error...

Gotcha. So did you resolve the situation?

Have talked to the corporate HQ. As well as MD Department of Weights and Measures.

Good. Report it and weights and measures will perform an inspection on that. I've seen it happen before

I have also forwarded this thread to the consumerist.com so they can post it hopefully.

Damn Gas Thieves!!:shakes head:

Well just to be fair, you can't assume the people that own/work at the gas station are doing this on purpose. I work at a gas station too and I know that gas pumps can act retarded sometimes, especially old ones like at the one I work at. It's not my fault if something like this happens, but I can't call someone to fix it if I don't know there's a problem. We've never had a problem like this though.

Damn! That is typically where I go for gas. Didn't they just get those new gas pumps not that long ago?

Wow how about that for a BJ that just plain sucks!

:ohsnap1: :roflpuke2:

Ba-zing!

Hopefully they fixed that pump...

This is just crazy, I dont think I've ever seen anything like it..:shakes head:

KIRKSTER, I just PM'd you, Good Morning America wants to interview you tomorrow because of the video I sent the Consumerist. Ben Popken needs your email and or phone number.

That's awesome, Kirk is now FAMOUS y'all!!! Kirk, just a thought here, shouldn't you be asking for a stretched out Z on 35" with open top and for a Z escort? Don't forget to mention the the370z.com forum too or else :tup:

Haven't heard anything from Kirkster yet. I also sent him a message on his youtube account as well.

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

So what's your role in this? Body guard with the Zuprman?

ROFL I'm not cool man, Zuprman can't fly in town... air zone restrictions ;)

He doesn't need to fly, just stand there and scare ppl away :)

Awesome dude, in that case, I'll roll up in there dressed like Blade...

Where is superstar Kirk bound for primetime TV...:tup:

lol whaaat? that's crazyness

Kirk still has not responded to my PM. Maybe he doesn't want to have his fame. If anyone talks to him let him know to contact Ben over at the consumerist.com Ben also left a comment on his youtube channel for him. They want to do this tomorrow on the show. Time is ticking.

lol, he might not even be in the country right now. He seems to be travelling a lot for work.

Kirk is probably in a really dark, bad corner of the world right now.

Or in his garage installing a GTM SC kit. :D

Perfect! We might need a body double to take his place. I think Shado is the closest :)

I think his garage is a really dark, bad corner of the world :icon17:

Unfortunately due to the nature of my work I cannot give any interviews to the Media.

Besides if I needed a stunt double it would be Tony!!!
