OMAHA, Neb. -- A misplaced decimal point gave drivers a surprisingly good deal on gas, and even inspired some threats of violence at a west Omaha filling station Wednesday night.

Carolyn Folsom, who occasionally helps her brother and father run the self-service, attendant-less Shell station, said she goofed Wednesday afternoon when entering prices into the computer that runs the fuel tanks. A gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline was supposed to cost $1.89 but ended up costing only 18 cents.

It was good while it lasted.

1. Amazing so some Nebraska redneck demanded he get....

...his gas for $0.189 per gallon at gunpoint or Carolyn was going to meet her creator. That's a red state is it not?

2. I'm in NE, and the situation is that some actually let her know there

was a mistake. Even though these are R's...they still are honest...:)

(Well...at least some of them...:) )
