That's pretty much the line of thought I had when I read this.
Seems to me liability should fall solely on the company, and not the customers for taking advantage of a good situation

stealing is stealing. the gas is not the property of the purchaser until its paid for. everyone who drives a car knows this. further, i am sure the law addresses the issue of people knowingly taking advantage of the situation.
and sarettah, i think you are wrong. i noticed you used the word "present". where is it understood stated or implied that the gas is a gift? a failing piece of hardward does not imply "this gas is free, take all you want". what fact led people to reasonably assume the gas is free for their taking? what fact exists that can show the people had reason to believe they were not obligated to pay for the gas?
and if someone sends something to you in error, its not yours. what contract or agreement exists or transaction took place that makes it yours?
