Being old enough to remember when this would not have been an unusual price I found this funny. I would have to say that the employees were not exactly real perceptive individuals .

That does bring back some memories----------I was allowed 2.00 a week for gas to go to school and back when I was a junior and senior in high school. I could do that if I did not go any where else much. Even before I got my license (1959) I remember gas wars and the price dropped to 14.9 at one time!!

I would have pointed out the mistake, but after I had filled up my truck. Is half-honest as good as honest?
