North Carolina - Hundreds of people who found temporary relief from $3-plus gasoline prices yesterday after an employee accidentally set the price at 35 cents at the Kangaroo Express station at 17th Street and Wellington Avenue, employees said.
The trouble started about 9 a.m. today when an attendant at the BP station punched in 35 cents instead of $3.35 for premium-grade gasoline, said employee Shane Weller. The mistake wasn’t noticed until about 6 p.m., when crowds jammed the pumps and caused traffic jams on nearby roads, Weller said.
By that time news of the low-priced gas had spread like wildfire through e-mail and word of mouth, he said.
