Strangest thing happened filling up for gas this morning


I was running late to a class this morning that I had a midterm in, and I have about a 30 minute drive to school. As soon as I get on the freeway I realize my gas light is on, so I finally decide to stop for gas about halfway there. I was only going to put in 2 gallons since I was in such a hurry. I stopped at a 76 station and proceeded to fill my car up, only it was pumping soooooooo slow. It seriously took like 5 minutes just to pump a gallon. I got to like .9 gallons and it wouldn't let me put any more in and was like fuck it I need to leave NOW so I hop back in my car and look at my gas gauge and it's fucking on FULL. What the fuck? Did I seriously just pay like $3 for 15 gallons of gas?


I'm going back to the pump on my way home to verify it.

Yeah, there's no way your gas gauge or oxygen sensor is fucked up

No, it's full. It wouldn't even let me put any more gas in it.

Could be the pump. I've had numerous times where the fumes clog the oxygen sensor in the pump itself and won't allow it to pump. Keeps people from topping off/spilling/whathaveya. Sorry if the first reply sounded dickish, I'm having a bad week.

LOL... dude exact opposite happened to me this morning. Kinda late to work, in a hurry so I get $5 gas in my 4 cyl Camry. Pump starts.... few seconds later....stops. Driving up a hill, gas light turns on. Even though on a hill... but still... this shit is getting real painful.
