Gas Stations Busted

As of yesterday the Exxon in Mount Vernon is shut down, they got busted for price gouging. They had their gas sign set at 3.89 so naturally everyone is going to go there and get gas (duh) but when they filled up or got gas and went inside to pay they soon found out they hadn't changed their sign to what the real gas price was. The real gas price was $7.45!! They got busted when a truck driver filled up with 380 gallons and his ticket came to almost $3,000 and when his company got the fax for the wire to pay his gas they flipped out which is natural. They called Illinois State Police and the police called the feds out of Kansas City, they took in the manager (from his own house), the assistant manager, and the three clerks and arrested them all. They shut down that gas station and posted on the news if anyone goes to stop there they'll be arrested for trespassing. Gas was $7.45 and diesel was $6.50 but gas was posted at $3.89 and diesel was posted at $4.09. Just goes to show what goes around comes around, they tried to price gouge and got busted for it.
