    i would contact the Department of Weights and measures. I believe they are the ones who look over the gas stations shoulders to make sure they are doing things fairly.

    Hell yeh it was me. I couldnt believe what was happening. At first I thought I was going crazy.

    The gas station attendants were absolutely worthless.

    One of them spoke broken english. I showed him the video and all he did was say "Yes. Yes. Yes. You got gas." Then he tried to dismiss me with a smile and a "Feliz ano!".

    The other guy saw the video and was like "Whoa! That's wild!" and then stared at me with a blank expression.

    To add insult to injury, one of New Jersey's finest was standing right near me as I was explaining my problem to the attendants. I know he could see that I was a bit angry. Do you think he intervened to see what the problem was? Hell no. He walked out the door, got into his car, and drove off.

    Keep us posted on this.

    edit: I hate the bigger gas tanks in the cold! The Galant always ended around 12gal and the Challenger goes to 15-16 gal.

    i see your point and agree 100% but for me i have to pic and choose my fights. I wouldnt get into it with someone who barely speak english only to get no where with it and wind up slapping the shit out of the attendent, then go to jail for what a dollar. Don't think so!

    Weird right? The Citgo on Palisades Parkway south is self serve. Its the Citgo station that can be accessed from both north and south lanes.

    screw all of you who complain about to much gas going in your small tanks my dd takes 26-27 gallons every fill up.

    And that is some shit keep that video and send it to corporate see what they say could get free gas for a year if you cause enough fuss.

    No wonder why your car could eat a quarter of thank every 10 miles.
    Anyways that hasn't happened to me yet. Well i think so.! but i doubt that your the only one that have been fooled. Hope you can get at least a full thank of gas for this incident.
    My Mk4 is like a Black Hole you enter in it and who the hell knows what'll happen next???
    I sure don't, do you?
