A gas price war between two stations in Georgia caused prices to drop as low as 97 cents per gallon. It led to total chaos and the police had to be called to deal with traffic. Basically one gas station’s policy was to be 5 cents lower than their neighbor. The other stations policy was to match their neighbor’s price. Here are customers and gas stations owners talking about what happened.
