How many Wisconsin kids will be telling their grandchildren 50 years from now, “I remember when gas only cost 33 cents!”

I would have been there with a pickup full of 55-gallon drums.

No, I think it’s a sad commentary. You would think at least one of those folks would have contacted authorities to help the owner out.

Gas station owners have a slim margine. If they don’t get market value for their supply, they won’t have any money to replenish the supply.

This owner could have been put out of business by the people who took advantage of the error. I find that really sad.

"Not a bargin, theft."

But a theft not unlike charging $3.299 for a gallon of gasoline.

Exactly.

Hey folks, the door to the super-market was left open, have I got a deal for you...

Same difference. Those folks were major a—holes!

What do you think she pays for the gas $0.25 cents a gallon?

Come on guy, you know better than that.

You should complain to your Rat/Rino politicians about the price. Do not blame the owner, refinery, or oil companies.

Its theft.

If a bank leaves its vaults open over night and someone steals the money, it is still theft.

They should get the credit card numbers and get their money back.

Got it. 33 cents is nothing. Try this one on for size from May 9, 2006:

I hope each one of the motorists find that cheap gas the most expensive gas they ever “purchased.” Hopefully they pulled sediments and gunk into their tanks.

What ever happened to doing what’s right especially when no one is looking?

I hope all of those who filled up will be going into the store to buy the all the things that the owner makes money from in future, if there is a future for the owner.
