I read that gasoline was being sold on Craigslist for $15 a gallon.
I sure wouldn’t want to put gasoline that a purchased from a scalper into my car.
We had a situation a few years ago in a neighboring town where police were dealing with several disabled vehicles on a roadway, and realized that they’d all just gassed up at a non-branded gas station nearby (along the Passaic River). The owner maintained that a fuel truck driver must have left the caps off the underground tanks during a rainstorm, contaminating the gas; in any case, he was forced to fix the cars (I believe there were 10 in total; they were fixed at a garage the same man owned in my town).
Anyway, a few hours later, police are called to the same neighborhood by neighbors who are smelling gasoline fumes. The same owner had run a hose down to the river and was draining his underground tanks directly into it! He was heavily fined for it; absolutely Third World...
