Louisiana Gas Station Accidentally Sells Gas for 29-Cents per Gallon

A gas station in Natchitoches, Louisiana, made the mistake of selling supreme gasoline for the low price of 29-cents a gallon on Wednesday.

The Chevron station sold the incorrectly priced gas from 6 a.m. until it was recognized at 2 p.m., according to WTXF-TV in Philadelphia. The station isn’t sure how much gas was sold at 29-cents, but notes that cars, trucks and even boats filled up at the pump. A gas station attendant said most cars brimmed their tanks on just $3.00, according to WTXF-TV.

How do the gas prices in the Pittsburgh area measure up to this mistake?

It’s unlikely they’re 29-cents a gallon for supreme, but gas prices are trending down, according to GasBuddy.com, a company that reports gas and diesel prices through crowdsourcing. While still above the United States average of $2.71 a gallon, the average price of one gallon of regular gasoline in Pittsburgh is $2.95, down from $3.21 one month ago, the site reports.
