Glad they have their priorities straight...

Everything else is in the crapper but lets make sure the alcoholics get drunk faster when they go to the bar.

What next lowering the DUI limit so one top shelf drink will put ya over so they can arrest you and take your car.

its not about getting drunk faster, its about being given lesser quality merchandise than youre being led to purchasing. theres a reason someone would order a grey goose mixed drink over one made with some low shelf absolut or worse...more expensive booze doesnt get you drunk quicker, it just tastes better

Wtf? This is the equivalent of putting regular in the premium tanks and charging you for premium. Not about increasing potentcy. These businesses are literally stealing from their customers.

I just saw this on the news. I am not saying it surprises me but it definitely sucks. Those places rape people for drinks anyway. Up to and including beer.

This is exactly why this **** can go on, too.

1 shot of Grey Goose, 4 oz of cranberry? Really?

All that aside, Mike pretty much nailed it. It's like paying for premium and having somebody pump you regular.

That's not really possible in today's world of pumping gas unless the Gas Station connects the Premium lines to the regular tank. And that in it self is not really possible just saying...

Its possible but that would mean the fuel delivery company was in on it and getting some kick backs. You would either have to be doing this from day 1 when that Gas Station opens or when the Premium tank runs dry they would fill it with regular. Still not really possible but i have heard story's of Gas stations putting water in there tanks but even then its not really possible because most gas stations get state people to come out and inspect.

You mean like gas stations getting aviation fuel and still selling it until someone caught on? Everything is possible and they will try as hard as they can to get away with anything they can.

No pro athletes are on peds because they test too right?

Holy **** it was an example for comparison sakes

You don't think someone could **** up along the line and end up putting the wrong grade in the wrong tank unknowingly? You think weights and measures are for fun? You realize this **** does happen without you knowing a thing about it?

You could be right i don't know i'm just saying from my point of view being a Gas guy at Wawa and saw the daily workings of a gas station. I honestly don't think they can put the wrong grade into a tank. From talking to the Fuel delivery guys that drive rigs and fill the tanks its not really possible. In one tanker there is 3 seperate tanks 2 with regular fuel and one with premium and they go in there tanks under ground. It would happen if it was a noob maybe but even then unlikely for the fact of training.

Gas stations filling cars with Aviation fuel would be also the fault of the company selling gas to the station to let them happen so there are 2 company's at fault there. Everyone wants more profit but how the US Government has its hands in everything i guess its possible one or two slipped past there greedy finger tips.
