A BP gas station in Virginia was charging up to $6.99 per gallon amid a gas shortage that was triggered by a cyberattack that impacted a major U.S. fuel pipeline, according to local reporters and motorists.
“It was a lot of people there, no one looked at the price,” said Lether Kerney, a motorist, to WTVR. Kerney said she pulled up to the BP pump and apparently didn’t notice the price, which was $5.99 per gallon at the time, until she filled up her tank.
