3800 Gas station error

[SaturdaysGS]

So I went to fill up the family minivan today.. fun right? I pull into the gas station on 107th and cicero, pull up to the pump, swipe the ye 'ol credit card, and clicked 87. I quickly glance at the cost and saw .90, but not thinking anything of it I figured $2.90 a gallon. Well I start pumping and notice the gallons going a little faster then the money, not the other way around. So I topped off a (nearly) empty tank, putting in ~16 gallons for $16.37 bucks. As soon as I finished the error was fixed, and the attendant was walking around, sooo I just drove off.

Did I do the right thing? Probably not.
Do I feel bad? Not really.

Yeah you did not do the right thing, but you have spent alot on gas in the past so why does it matter......Also atleast you paid unlike somepoeple.

No, you didn't do the wrong thing, as much as the gas companies are bending us over, if they fuck up and your lucky enough to catch it, more power to you. If you were doing it at a little ma and pa place thats a different story, but you did it to a billion dollar company that is jacking up prices because they can, not cause they need to. Fuck em!

you did nothing wrong... the station mis-configured the pump. Not your problem.
It is just like going into a store and if a price at the register is scanned lower than what it is supposed to be, you pay the scanned price. It is thier error not yours.

You pay the ADVERTISED price! so they lose you win. The gas station probably lost 10-15$ in profit at most. no skin off their backs. Just pretend like you won a contest! take yourself out to a NICE dinner with the savings!

Keep you receipt!!! When the prices fluctuated so much last Fall I noticed several times when I'd record the sale in my check registry off from the receipt and throw it away but when the bank statement came in the charge for that fill up was different! So hold on to the receipt untill your statement comes in, or check the charge on line.
