Gas Men save motorists at the pump

PLAINVILLE, Conn. - The unknown duo were dressed in sunglasses, baseball caps, khakis and matching green golf shirts when they gave Gayle Kilburn a $100 bill on Thursday as she filled up her car at a Citgo in Plainville. They also handed her a card that read "Re-Fueling Our Community" and was signed "The Gas Men."

Kilburn says she was stunned by the gesture and at first thought it was a stunt with Monopoly money. She later realized it was real cash and used it to fill her tank.

She says the Gas Men also helped five or six other customers.

The AAA auto club says the average price for regular gas in Connecticut is $4.36 a gallon. That's the third-highest average in the country, after California and Alaska.
