<snip>

A woman filling her car Sunday morning at a Salt Lake City gas station was forced at gunpoint to pump gas into another vehicle.

The victim was at a Chevron station at 875 S. State St. around 10 a.m. when she was approached by two men who had parked next to her, police said. The driver, a black adult, pushed something against her back and told her he had a gun. He then told her to fill up the tank on his newer white Jeep Cherokee.

The victim pumped $15 into the man's vehicle before her credit card reached its limit and stopped, police said. The suspects then drove away.

The passenger was described as male white adult. Cherokee had Wyoming license plates.

1. he only got $15 worth?

that might be enough to get him a couple blocks to the next station.

8. Most pumps here stop when they hit $75

No matter how many gallons that is, even if the car is not full. So she put some in her car first (I guess $60 worth) and then he only gets about 5 gallons.

7. Description of the suspect

Same as "a black adult."

Police regularly do this in press releases to tacitly enlist public assistance. If someone in the area who read this sees a newer white Cherokee driven by a black adult, they might note the license and alert the cops.

Especially if it's out of gas.

6. I just $35 to fill up my gas tank and I have a damn Corolla

I remember when I could get 2 gallons of gas for about $2, now I can't even get 1 gallon

Is she ready to be a father?
