(Lincoln, Neb) Attorney General Jon Bruning issued the following comments about Nebraska gas stations trying to cheat customers by selling alcohol-blended gas as regular unleaded.

“We intend to prosecute those who deceive the public. Certainly I would ask Nebraskans to be patient as we investigate these claims but rest assured we’re going to make sure people play by the rules.”

“Gas prices are high and people ought to get what they pay for.”
