On june 12th or 13th.My wife at a Raceway station on Route 22 in Greenbrook NJ asked for fill regular after the gas was pumped she realized the price was quite high Knowing how much gas she usually uses I caluclated that she was given the super. An honest mistake I assumed. On June 16th. she filled up at a Citgo on South ave in Fanwood after the fill she questioned the price and found out super was put in.When she complained to the attendet he smiled as if to say too bad. This morning I went to the same Citgo and said to the attendent Regular to which he replyed Fill? I answered FILL REGULAR as he started the pump I got out of the car looked at the pump it was on super I said to him stop the pump I told you fill regular.He looked at me and contuined to pump I had to flip the pump off so that he would stop. Hesmiled and said he would switch to regular bI must pay for the super that was pumped.Which I did. I think this may be A scam that gas stations are pulling Gary calabrese
