Tricks at the Pump

Created: September 1st, 2005 | Written By: Michael Tedesco

On my way home yesterday I stopped in to buy some ridiculously overpriced gas (my local station has hit $2.80 per gallon today) and noticed that this Mobile station in Chili, NY was playing some games. I am not sure what country the proprietors of this station came from but I am not aware of any nation that reads right->left->middle. If I was not paying attention I may have ended up putting 89 octane in the tank instead of 87. This may not seem like much of a deal if the price difference was not 10 cents a gallon. Does anyone other than me find this pump positioning a bit odd?
