Puddy Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Drivers flood station for 35 cent gas Fri Apr 11, 5:24 PM ET WILMINGTON, N.C. - Traffic was backed up and police were called to control the crowd after a Wilmington gas station accidentally set the pump price at 35 cents a gallon. ADVERTISEMENT The Wilmington Star-News reported Friday that hundreds of drivers flooded a BP station for the cheap gas after the price dropped around 9 a.m. Thursday. Station employee Shane Weller said the price for premium gasoline was supposed to be $3.35 a gallon. He complained that customers paid the cheaper price all day without saying a word. It was all the extra traffic that led station employees to the mistake around 6 p.m. They found it after calling their district manager, looking for permission to changing the price as a way of stemming the flow of customers. ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) I remember when gas WAS thirtyfive cents a gallon. Me too. Even cheaper(.29) and cigarettes 25 cents a pack 5 years before the oil embargo. Holy Roller do you remember curb feelers?
