Fred Miller bought gas Thursday afternoon at a Rutter's Farm Store in
West Manchester Township . . . for 35 cents a gallon.
Yes, 35 cents a gallon. And it was middle grade to boot!
The sign at the Rutter's in the 2300 block of Carlisle Road showed
that gas was $3.59 a gallon for middle grade, but when it rang up, it
was $0.359.
Miller, of Dover Township, bought a little more than 17 gallons for
$6.17.
That was a big difference, he said.
Todd Rutter, head of Rutter's Dairy, one in the family of Rutter's
companies, did not say how many people got the cheap gas before the
problem was corrected.
He said it was enough to make a few people happy, but not enough to
hurt too much. Rutter said human error, followed by the error not
being caught, caused the problem.
He said an honest customer eventually came in and reported the
problem.
Rutter said it's the first time he's heard of the problem in the past
15 years.
