If they listed it at $1.00 a gal they could empty the tanks real fast.

Wow! Just think, on Tuesday I was up at costco and was going to fill up my mom's Trooper for her, but they wouldn't let me use my dad's AmEx and I wasn't going to pay for it myself

The same sort of error happened in Northern California in 1994 when the Chevron Refinery in Richmond, Ca mistakenly mixed diesel with AvGas. The fuel was then distributed to several airports in California. The error wasn't discovered until several small aircraft owners began to have engine problems as a result of the bad gas.

Fortunately there were no mishaps because of it and Chevron came clean with an admission of their error and spent many $$$ replacing cylinders on engines that were damaged by detonation caused by the lower grade of fuel.

And the price of gas and diesel went up Nationwide to cover the cost of this screw up.

We've had a couple calls to see if we could do drains and flushes on fuel systems. Unfortunately, I'm already booked a week out.
