The liter of diesel for one euro, a gas station taken by storm

A real rush for black gold. This is what we were able to attend this Monday evening at the petrol station of the Super U in Nieul-sur-Mer, near La Rochelle, in Charente-Maritime. The reason ? The price of diesel suddenly dropped to 1 euro on display, instead of remaining at 1.42 euro! The information was quickly relayed
on social networks and some motorists immediately decided to go to the pump.

Many of them took advantage of the bug until the early hours of the morning. At around 7 a.m., the station manager rectified the error, to the great misfortune of motorists who have seen gasoline and diesel prices increase for several weeks. At the moment, it is not known whether this is a bug due to a computer problem or to human error. Even a voluntary act of a person.
