    I can’t speak for this one, but I have seen it before.

    What leads me to believe it might be faked is if the cashier knew and was calling the police (as stated in the video), they can and should have hit the emergency stop for that pump; same thing they have to do if there’s a fuel leak from one of them.

      That and the fact that he would have been there for 30 minutes or more, having to re-up the pump every 50 gallons or so. A lot of them cut you off at a certain point. There’s roughly 500 gallons in a pickup truck bed.

        Oh, yeah, that’s true. I think it cuts you off somewhere below the pre-auth amount (whatever that dollar amount translates to in gallons). Didn’t even think of that, but yeah.

      Notice how you don’t actually see any fuel coming out of the nozzle? And how the “fuel” is crystal clear, even though nearly all commercial gasoline sold has dyes to indicate it’s octane?
