CONSUMER WOES: Nightmare at the pump

James stopped for gas at a Kum & Go, in Springfield, MO last night on his way to drive across state to visit his family. On his journey his car was acting increasingly strange and died abruptly in the driveway of his family's home.

The next morning, James had his car towed to the shop. The cause of this automotive disaster? The car had been filled with diesel. It turns out a trucker poured diesel into a gasoline tank at a distribution center. At least one other station was filled with gasoline, however the other station closed down after an hour of pumping out Diesel. Kum & Go pumped out diesel for nearly five hours.

Kum & Go is paying for all repairs, and has claimed full responsibility.
