Note: In our neighboring countries, for example, a liter of diesel currently costs an average of 1.66 euros.
Hundreds rushed to the pump
News of the "price saving" spread like wildfire in Leutkirch, a town of 24,000 inhabitants. Eventually, more and more drivers crowded in front of the petrol station and blocked the access road. Due to the long queue, the breakdown was finally noticed.
Almost 3000 liters of fuel pumped out
According to the police, between 2,500 and 3,000 liters of fuel were pumped out between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. before the service station operator noticed the mistake and deactivated the pumps.
Whether a technical defect or manipulation was behind this is currently being investigated.
