Default And at 4 and change a gallon...

Some bikers on a charity run got a taste of it in Ferndale...

Sounds like the underground gas storage tanks have been compromised. Wonder if they will get a visit and inspection from the EPA?

So the station refunded the $20 in gas and the the HD dealer charges $100? Doesn't sound like a winning situation for the guys on bikes.

Charging more than $4.00 a gallon they should keep those tanks clean or they will have a lot of irate motorists!

If the dealer only charged $100 I can't imagine them doing anything more than unscrewing the gas cap......

meh, at $100 A pop they probably grabbed a crossover tube off the shelf and drained the gas out of the tank.

If all the bikes that bought the "sludge" lined up in the parking lot with a few buddies with big signs saying "$4 gallon bad gas" maybe with blown up pics of what they siphoned out, i bet theyd get a little compensation...
A little bad publicity goes along way...
