I had this happen recently in my truck. I pre-paid $10.00 on a pump and started fueling. The guy next to me said "These pumps are slow." I also noticed, but then read the gallons. The price on the sign was $3.69 and on the pump it was .369

Just as I was figuring out what was going on the pump went *CLICK* and the tank was full and I only got like $9.00 in it. The guy next to me was also full and trying to figure out what was going on. I said to him.................

"They screwed up and are charging $0.37 per gallon and I am not going back in for my change."

By time I got home and grabbed 4 five gallon gas cans and the Metro and got back there, they already fixed the prices.
