Texas got nothing on my Gas Prices

This is so awesome man, on Wednesday morning. I went to 76 in El Cerrito to get gas. Premium was 2.29, so I was like, ok, let me get this.
I filled up 10 Gallons and after I got my receipt, I stared at it for a very long time....


my total fuel cost was....................













$2.98........

At first I thought I read the receipt wrong, but nope, I was right. On the pump, the price was 0.229. HAHAHAHAHA they did their decimal places wrong.
So basically I got my gas for 23 cents. =D pretty awesome huh??
I know you guys are jealous. =D

When I went back in the afternoon, they alrdy changed it. lol
This is like the gas prices 10 years ago. haha

Just feel like sharing. =D Good day.

The complete opposite happened to me once... At the Chevron on Grimmer and Automall. I filled up $32 worth of gas (I was on E)... started to drive off, and noticed that my gas light was still on,.. so I back up into the pump where I just got gas, and turns out I charged me for gas, but nothing came out!!!
