Fuel Sign Error sells gas at $.27 a gallon

  • Fuel Sign Error sells gas at $.27 a gallon

    NACSOnline reported a gas station in Avondale Ohio accidentally had posted a price of $.27 a gallon on their sign, without their employees’ knowledge.

    The price continued for 2.5 hours, and customers drove as far as 175 miles to take advantage of the low fuel price. The store employees didn’t notice the low price until customers started paying with cash. No word on how much money was lost during that day.

    This is the Fuel Manager’s worst nightmare. And who is to say it couldn’t happen again if the store headquarters isn’t using Fuel Pricing software to monitor the current price of the sign? With the Fuel Pricing technology available today, there’s no reason why a station or c-store would ever have to go through this agony of selling fuel at such a loss.
