That is a no no around here. Racetrac gas sucks in Waco.

As for the OP, I don't know if anyone is dumb enough to try this again, but a few years back, there were a few cases where some of these stations were putting 87 octane fuel in their 89 & 93 octane tanks. Consumers were thinking that they were getting good stuff, but were really getting the cheap stuff.
