BERLIN – MARCH 23: A gasoline station attendant pumps diesel into a car at a filling station on March 23, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. German President Horst Koehler said on Sunday higher petrol prices is the surest means to convince traditionally car-loving Germans to seek more environmentally-friendly alternatives, and his comment has already sparked the ire of the automobile lobby.

We're all dealing with high gas prices. These guys got creative. Two Florida Men adjusted a gas pump to charge only eight cents per gallon!

Nassau County Sheriff's deputies received a call about fuel being actively stolen from a 7-11. It seems as though 367 gallons of fuel was dispensed valued at $1757.93. However, the gas pump only showed a charge of only $30! That comes out to eight cents per gallon!

The story goes that the Florida Men, Ramon Vila and Silvio Aguila, opened the gas pump and installed a device that messes with the pump's flow meter. Boom, cheap gas. The Florida Men hit another gas station a few hours later and pumped 114 gallons of gas before a deputy showed up.
