It was reported in our local paper yesterday that a gas station and gas delivery company were both fined by the State for delivering and selling 87 octane fuel as 89 octane.
The delivery company had records documenting 23 separare deliveries to this station in the first quarter of 2008 where they placed 87 octane fuel in the 89 octane tanks. Obviously it doesn't pay to be both a thief and an idiot!
The gas station and the fuel delivery company have some common owners. A former gas station employee noticed the delivery "error" early in the year, and pestered his boss about it, as well as all the subsequent "errors". The boss finally told the young kid "you better not still be working here when I return from vacation."
The young man resigned, then call the State inspectors. The Mid-Grade fuel in the underground tank was tested and found to be 87.4 Octane.
I wonder how common this type of theft is?
