- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Ever wonder why gasoline prices are so high?? No, it's not the
- arabs, it's the huge oil companies like Imperial Oil and Shell.
- They make billions of dollars off the poor ignorant masses. Well,
- what to do about it? Simple, seize the gas...
-
- Most of you are probably familiar with siphoning gas out of
- other tanks, but that is a messy procedure and anyone can see you,
- because it takes so long...so after some experience with the
- following methods, i decided to let everyone know.
-
- *Note* Most of these methods will not work on pre-pay stations
-
-
- Gas 'N' Run
- -----------
-
- Similar to a Dine 'N' Dash, this involves grabbing the goods
- and hauling ass. If you are gonna do this, make sure the tank is as
- empty as can be. The last liter of reserve is good, since you don't
- want to get busted for just topping off the tank. It also helps if
- you have a massive 76L(17 gallons) tank like the one in my Jeep.
- Oh, and this method involves the greatest risk. I have never been
- caught, but i have heard of others and even saw an episode of COPS
- where they busted a guy for it.
-
- First off, you must hide the license plates. If you want just
- take them off, or cover it up, but this will only arouse suspicion.
- What i do is steal plates off other cars right before i'm about to
- do it. Just go to a quiet residential street with your buddy, and
- one takes off the front, the other the back. There are usually one
- of two types of screws -- a flathead or a bolt-type head. The first
- one can be taken off with a screwdriver, but the second one
- requires pliers, especially if it's rusted.
-
-
- Now for the fun part. I don't recommend doing it around where
- you live, since you use these stations the most. The best place to
- do it is a station close to the highway. The less lights between
- you and the exit, the better. Once i got a station that was 20 feet
- from the highway exit, it was beautiful.
-
- This is best done by at least two people. The driver pulls into
- the station, right next to the island that is farthest from the
- cash bar's point-of-view. The passenger then opens the gas cap...If
- you have a lock on your cap, make sure the passenger gives you the
- keys back right away, so you can be ready with the ignition. The
- passenger then gets the pump(always get ultra or gold, who gives a
- shit you're not paying for it..) and starts filling it up. When he
- is done, NEVER turn the switch back to off. This gives off a signal
- to the cashier who will start to watch your car. Just put the cap
- in and leave the pump on the ground or something. Get into the car,
- and now just drive off normally. Do not squeal out in a hurry, it
- only fucks you up more.
-
- I don't recommend doing this at a full serve station or doing
- it alone. If you have to do it alone, when you're finished pumping,
- put the pump back properly, and start to walk to pay. Making sure
- the cashier is looking, pretend you left your wallet in the car. Of
- course the keys are in the ignition, and you just fucking jet...
-
- Social Engineering
- ------------------
-
- This is best done with a whole bunch of friends. Don't worry
- about the plates or anything, just pull into a full-serve station.
- Everybody get out, to stretch their legs, and let the bullshit
- begin. Tell the guy who comes out that your oil light came on and
- you want to know if he can check to see if you need oil. He opens
- the hood, and then one of your buddies suggest loudly that 'you
- might as well get gas'. Well, walk over to the ultra, and pump
- away. When he is about done with the oil, quickly put the pump
- back, and yell out "How do you work this fucking thing!?!?" He
- comes over and then tell him $5.00 regular. Give him the cash and
- when he's done, just peel out. By the time he gets to the register
- and finds out what you've done you're long gone with the extra
- gas...
-
- Well that about wraps up this file. Another way i have seen
- done, but wouldn't recommend, is that old two-bills trick. Put
- about ten bucks in and then quickly lift the on/off lever up and
- down and put two bucks in. Then just go in and pay the two bucks.
- This only works if the station is extremely busy.
-
- One word about credit cards. If you happen to get your hands
- on actual plastic, i know it is tempting to fill your tank with it,
- but don't. They always write down your plate number, because they
- don't check the card for authorization. However if you change your
- plates, card away...Even use your parents old void credit cards,
- they won't get the bill...
