Customers Have Fill-Up Frenzy After Gas Price Mistake
PLAINFIELD, Ind. -- A costly mistake at an Indiana gas station early Tuesday morning means the business is out a lot of money.
The mistake at regular unleaded pumps at a Shell station in Plainfield allowed people to fill up for just pennies.
Gas at the station was supposed to be $2.75 a gallon, but customers pulled up to the pumps to find a price of $.002 a gallon.
The mistake was discovered early Tuesday morning, but several customers had already gotten away with a drastically low price fill-up.
The gas station is not exactly sure how many people took advantage of the situation. Since customers paid at the pump, clerks did not have face-to-face contact with the customers.
Driver Kenneth Krebs said he couldn't believe what he saw that allowed him to fill up his truck for 7 cents.
"I pulled into that gas station, put my card in to get gas and hit the 87 octane button and it came up like two-hundredths of a cent," said driver Kenneth Krebs. "So, I proceeded in filling up my truck."
