Gas Sells For 35 Cents A Gallon, But Not For Long
Customers got a bargain at a Citgo station where gas was at least briefly selling for 35 cents a gallon.

(October 16, 2008)--Dozens of people got an unexpected bargain when they pulled into a Wisconsin Citgo station earlier this week and discovered the price of premium at the pump was mistakenly set at 34.9 cents a gallon, instead of $3.43.

Customer Kelly Joosten says it was amazing to fill up her Ford Expedition for under $9.

It usually costs her about $100.

Station owner JP Raval figures as many as 40 customers took advantage of the mistake before it was discovered after about an hour and a-half.

If the mistake was the other way ($34.9) I bet someone would have been "honest" about it and told the station owner quickly>
