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.




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.

Occasionally the airlines will make such a mistake. If the reservation has been ticketed, they have to honor the price.

I once got a family of 4 from Atlanta to Honolulu for under $900, which was less than the normal price of one excursion fare ticket.
