Gas station owners are always jacking-up gas prices for the slightest of reasons, even when there is no need to. Whenever inclement weather is expected, oil prices rise even slightly, rumors of political upheaval surface - or the day just happens to end in "Y." That's what makes this little tidbit so refreshing:
A gas station in Wisconsin had gas advertised at $3.43 a gallon, but the pumps were reading $0.349 (35¢)! And customers were lined-up around the block - some even filling-up cans at the ridiculously low price.
One woman who usually spends about $100 to fill-up her 1998 Ford Expedition proudly showed off her $8.85 receipt for over 25 gallons of gas.
The owner estimated 30-40 people got 200-300 gallons worth of gas at the cut-rate for over 90 minutes before the mistake was discovered and corrected.
