German Gas Station Sells Fuel for 1 Cent Per Liter Due to Technical Error

A malfunction at a self-service station in Leutkirch, Germany, led to thousands of liters of fuel being sold at an almost-free price overnight.

Between 11 PM and 4 AM, a gas station in Leutkirch, Baden-Württemberg, sold fuel for just 1 cent per liter due to a suspected technical glitch.
The error attracted a large number of drivers, who collectively pumped between 2,500 and 3,000 liters of fuel before the issue was discovered.
Local residents alerted authorities to the unusual activity, prompting police to close and clear the station early Friday morning.
Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the pricing error was caused by a system malfunction or potential tampering, though no evidence of manipulation has been found so far.
Customers who took advantage of the error will not face legal consequences, according to police statements.
