The gas shortage, so to speak
:
I go to the gas station I go to all the time and ask the guy to fill me up (I'm on E). Cash is $1.61/gallon; credit is $1.71. My car takes 18.8 gallons. The total is $31.25. Great. I pay and drive away, but I only have 7/8 of a tank. Somehow, I think, he managed to siphon off a couple of gallons, or short me. I went back 2 days later to complain and the owner promptly gave me $5 (very good business move).
Moral - make sure you're not being shorted, even at your regular spots!
