Okay, except in this case, it's mid-grade on the left, regular on the right on both sides of the pump. I'd be willing to bet (and you've inspired me to call on my Connecticut state legislators and the attorney general to investigate) that this station is doing an inordinately high proportion of mid-grade sales, when compared to other stations... and at 10 cents a gallon more.

Exactly my point, thank you. You are the first person in over 4,000 views to notice the missing period. It took long enough. People are easily fooled... here, and at the pump.

Was the number in ENGLISH?? I bet it was. So don't say you couldn't read it! Stupid haig!

People are so stupid. What if that button also has a clause allowing the oil company to graft her lips onto the butthole of another to make a living i-pad?? Would she still do it?....YES! This is what happens when you don't read the fine print, like that number is in fine print...sheesh! She has no one to blame but herself!

where they got me was when I pulled in and did not notice a full service pump aisle. The price was much higher.
