Mistake Leads to 29-Cent Gas Price Mon Oct 10, 7:37 AM ET



LINCOLN, Neb. - One gas station manager's mistake paid off for Lincoln drivers who were in the right place at the right time Friday.

For 30 to 45 minutes, three of the Kabredlo's Convenience Store's four pumps sold premium unleaded gas for 29 cents a gallon.

Gas hasn't been that cheap since 1955, according to AAA Nebraska.

As news of the cheap fuel spread, lines formed at the store at 2305 R St., said Max Wolfe, who was doing landscaping for Kabredlo's.

Wolfe and his co-workers took time out to fill up. "I was on E, and I filled my tank up for $4," Wolfe said. "It made my day."

Nathan Olson said he usually pays $72 to fill his gas-guzzling 1998 Ford F-150. Friday, he filled the tank three-quarters full for $3.50.

The store manager who said she made the mistake didn't give her name.

On average, Lincoln gas stations are charging $2.93 a gallon for gas, according to AAA.

I love stories where the little guy wins, except in this case the gas guzzling SUV whores are the ones that really got lucky.

I wonder if the cops got on the guy's case.

I remember when one gas station in my town sold gas for 95 cents, about 50 cents less than everyone else at the time, as a promo, and the police told them to increase their prices.

I think it has to do with anticompetitive pricing or something, or maybe it was the long line waiting at the pump.
