The cheapest gas ever. How about less than 50 cents a gallon?
The gas station sign might have touted $3.43 a gallon for premium, but the pump had other ideas.
According to this msnbc article, customers at a Citgo station in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin hit pay dirt when they put the nozzle in place and depressed the lever to let the gas flow.
Instead of the pricey amount they were expecting, customers were treated to a $.349 cents a gallon. That's right. Less than one quarter and one dime.
One customer, who usually spends $100 to fill her gas tank, drove away after only spending $8.85 for 25.36 gallons.
At first, the gas station attendant had no idea why there was the sudden interest in the gas station. The party ended after 90 minutes of a pumping flurry.
At least the economy worked in some people's favor this week, although, I'm sure the gas station owner is not too happy. I'm wondering, though, why no one told the attendant that something was amiss--or is it that people became confused and thought that gas prices were behaving just like the Dow Jones?
