This period of fuel shortages due to the CGT TotalEnergies strike has led to dire situations, fuel prices have literally exploded in recent days due to increasingly scarce fuel stocks. But this six-year-old must win the price of the most expensive tank of fuel in history…
History happened this Sunday, October 16, 2022, at a gas station in Montrabe, near Toulouse in Haute-Garonne. Satiha, 63, was trapped without even realizing it: until the fuel price panel shows 7,777 euros, this pensioner still goes to the gas station to refuel. Indeed, she was thinking of a computer error that froze the display of the price.
7.77 euros per liter of diesel fuel: exorbitant price!
With our colleagues from Midi Dispatchshe explains, having paid 120 euros for 15 liters of diesel, and that the gas station indicated that the ticket would not be distributed. Some customers would leave after noticing the price charged.
She inserts her bank card anyway and takes the gun: the tank breaks when she has only been able to use 15.34 liters… Indeed, she has already reached the maximum amount of 120 euros allowed by the authorization bank received by the machine. The amount will be debited from his bank account in a few days.

The manager of the supermarket then explains to him that the station was closed and that the signs indicated this closure: motorists would then move the barriers to come and help themselves anyway, according to the manager, who refers “violation of private space”…

Although the affected customers thought it was a computer error, it seems that such an exorbitant price was set on purpose! In recent days, some unscrupulous gas stations sold a liter of fuel for more than 3 euros, but this time a real record…
