He stated "do it" The guy in front of me didn't listen and pulled in. The officer chased him down by foot and was not happy (I saw the citation book in hand). I did as I was told, went around and back tracked; then sat in line for 2o more minutes. I was about ready to pull into the Station when an employee was waving everyone...saying "SORRY OUT OF GAS!!!" Thank you very much officer. Hopefully, I can find some tomorrow morning, I have a half of tank left.
PEOPLE FILLING UP WHEN THEY HAVE HALF A TANK ARE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE PROBLEM. IT IS UNNECESSARY GREED!

Where are our fearless political leaders. Why haven't they come out and spoken about this.

anyone know of any stations in or around the Matthews area? we are TOTALLY out at my house. My fiance's boss had to come pick up him up from home a little while ago. The gas station off 51 and Monroe had lines that went past downtown Matthews and the walmart gas station was just as bad.

What's the difference if your tank is half full and you get gas versus being close to empty and having to fill your entire tank (not to mention the potential road hazard you'll be if you run out of gas looking for fuel)?

Are you kidding me???? I just drove all around mallard creek and WT harris looking for gas. I thought it would be pointless to check those two stations because it's such a high traffic area.
