WHITTIER, Calif. (KNX) — An ARCO gas station in Whittier had cars lining up for blocks Monday evening after it was discovered the gas was being sold for 45 cents per gallon.

It comes as gas prices in the state hit an all-time record high.

KTLA shared a video of cars lining up bumper to bumper, to get to the gas station, which is located on the corner of Scott Avenue and Whittier Boulevard.

One of the lucky drivers, Michael Arteaga, showed he paid $7.20 for over 15 gallons of gas.

It’s unclear if the price was an actual promotion or simply an error. ARCO’s station management has not said anything at this time.
