I knew it was you that I parked next to at Finch though Then: 99 Silver Frost SVT #1919 237hp/219tq All Motor Now: 06 White STI Parts 4 sale

Now with all the unrest, crude oil apparently went past $40 US a barrel the other day. I know a bunch of us here are really beginning to re-evaluate commuting, if prices keep rising like this. Or, at the very least start driving the speed limit and etc. Richard \| Focused 24-7 2002 Focus ZTS...+275,000km and beyond! Ontario Focus Owners Club \| SVTOA-Toronto \| SVTOA Redline Rendezvous

Therefore there should be a several month delay. But I don't know how it all really works 95 Contour GL 2.5L ATX Minor mods

There were so many cars doing the same thing I did...

I think you can lodge a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau or a similar organization. Retailers must sell a product on its lowest price (you see that in many large stores now).

Nope because on the pump there's a sign that says if there's a pricing error this pump is right. or something like that. 1996 2.5LT V6 Contour ATX My Tour+help/info pics E0 rims, Gutted Pre-Cats,CTA Custom Exhaust & Intake, Diablo Chip.

If there is a discrepency between the pump and the till the pump (or till can't remember) shall be correct. Need to read it better next time. That however does not cover the Pricing of the fuel. Just the metered amount that was pumped. Green 96 mystique gs 4cyl mtx 16.9 in the 1/4 mile @102500 miles 95SE in Midnight Red MTX MSDS headers and y-pipe SVT exhaust SVT UIM Optimized se TB.

Usually, most gas stations will change pump price AFTER changing the sign, to keep from getting into trouble. 95 LX/SE V6 5 Speed NUN 1 http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/588083 "The Contour SE is the best American car I have ever driven and one of the best cars period."

That way people would hopefully stop coming in just so we could put the pumps back up. As for dropping the price most people were willing to wait while you did that.
