DOYLESTOWN, Pa. - A Memorial Day special? A time warp? Motorists lined up for a brief fueling frenzy at a pump in Doylestown, Bucks County. The pump was selling premium gasoline for 32.9 cents a gallon.

After drivers called friends and relatives, up to a dozen cars lined up for a turn at the Lukoil pump. The pump should have been set at $3.29.

The rush Monday was short-lived, though.

Doylestown Township Police Chief Stephen White said a woman called 911 after she noticed the error, though she pumped 'plus' grade at the correct price.

WHAT A FUCKING LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. How is she a bitch? she was reporting a crime

Most states it is against the law to sell gasoline below a specific mark up or below cost.

15. Your kidding , right? You wouldn't buy the gas?
I would and not feel the least guilty. Unfortunately you wouldn't be screwing Big Oil but the gas station owner, who has already been screwed by big oil. That being said, he has actually been screwed a second time by a stupid employee, and I wouldn't call 911 to solve his problem for him. I think that is just wrong! She should have alerted the gas station if she was to do this at all. She does sound like a bitch! And she should be busted for misuse of 911. JMHO.

9. If they are selling gas below the minimum allowed price it is

there are gas stations that "accidentally" set the price too low all the time, they are caught and face heavy fines for doing so. Granted the case in point might have been an accident because of the amount, but it is still a crime they might not get fined much but there are claims that prices where set to low by accident all the time.

8. A gas station here...
has the older pumps with the mechanical computers and they only went up to 1.999 a gallon so when gas went to $2+ he reset them for half a gallon. The pumps would read 1.01 9/10 or whatever and then people would get pissed when it was for only a half gallon.

11. Not cool.
You don't screw your fellow Americans and side with Big Oil like that, UNLESS it's a BP station. And that is only because BP mostly sells American oil/gas, and does alternative energy research + development.

13. For whatever reason they always want you to call 911

I have the division for North Dallas programed into my cell phone and they always try to tell me to call 911 for anything. I just tell them what it is I am telling them, and say "I've reported it to you, you are the police, if you think 911 has to be punched in, you do it."

16. Maybe in North Dallas, but not here in Cleveland.
I've never called 911, but I've called the police department's non-emergency number a few times (drunk drivers, arcing transformers after a storm, etc.)
