Queues At Pump After Price Error 26th September 2009 A Tesco petrol station in Cambridgeshire was swamped with motorists after a faulty pump dispensed fuel for 40p a litre for nearly a week. Queues built up around the forecourt in Milton, near Cambridge, as word spread about the bargain price. It meant customers with a 50-litre tank were filling up on unleaded petrol for £20 instead of the usual 107p-a-litre price of £54. Staff only became aware of the fault after hearing about it on local radio. Technical fault A customer who had taken advantage of the low price talked about it in a phone-in. An engineer fixed the problem on Thursday, six days after it was first noticed by customers. "This was a technical fault at the pump and an engineer has now rectified the problem," said a Tesco spokesman. "Although we always aim to keep prices down at the pumps, unfortunately, we could not maintain this price indefinitely." Source; News.BBC.co.uk |
