Computer Glitch Changes Price of Gas in Northwest Ohio Stations to Almost Nothing
They were practically giving it away. Two gas stations in Northwest Ohio lower their prices for gasoline to practically nothing.
FOX’s Joe Chiaro reports:
It all started early Sunday at the pilot travel center in Toledo when a computer glitch changed gasoline prices to just 49 cents a gallon.
Less than two hours later, prices dropped to 19 cents a gallon! Just across the street is a Circle K store. They saw the low gas price and to stay competitive dropped their price to 17 cents a gallon.
It didn’t take long for drivers to notice:
(Man) “I just filled my whole gas tank from dead empty for 26 cents, so…”
One customer even had a receipt after buying gas for one penny a gallon. The price war lasted for at least three hours.
