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


DOH!

Heard that they were planning to add the REAL amount to everyones credit card since it was a mistake ..
Those who paid cash were smart ..

Pretty sure they cannot just add the price onto the credit cards. Thats the mistake of the person running the place, not the people buying.

That is illegal w/o the card holder's permission.

That would justify me adding tips onto people's credit cards when they add the tip wrong and short me $20...won't fly.

Even at $3.35 for premium, that's still a good deal. We're now $3.65 for the cheap stuff.
