Problems at the pump--
And it has nothing to do with the high cost of filling up.
It turns out bad gas was delivered to more than a dozen
gas stations in and around Fresno, California.

Drivers who thought they were pumping regular unleaded
were actually putting a diesel-mix into their tanks.

Their cars started sputtering and breaking down.
One mechanic estimates the repair costs to be at least
200 dollars.

A regional gasoline dispensary has apologized for the
mistake and offered to reimburse the affected stations and
drivers.

Doesn’t seem strange,  have you ever watched some of the trucks that deliver gas to the stations!  They put the same cheap gas in the mid level and high test tanks and you pay top dollar for what you think is high test.  Oh, you might want to get locking gas cap’s,  people are gonna be draining you gas tanks either in the night or in daylight in the parking lot’s.
