Tiger Fuel offers 50 cent gas discount for one hour – NBC 29

GREENE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) –

Some lucky people in Greene County got a break at the pump Friday. Even though gas prices are slowly going down, they are still nearly double what they were a year ago.

A Charlottesville-based, family-owned company is helping some of its customers save money. For just one hour, drivers visiting Tiger Fuel’s Ruckersville location saved 50 cents per gallon filling up their tanks. Though it’s only a temporary fix, it brought long lines and lots of smiles.

“Cheap gas! Are you kidding me? Count me in. With today’s prices?” customer Donna Fredrick said.

Fredrick lives in Charlottesville, though she drove 15 miles to Ruckersville to fill up.

“If had the time to go home and get the other one, I’d be back up here, but I don’t think I’ll make it,” Fredrick said. “I can only milk this so much.”

At 1:00, the deal ended and prices went back up.

“We know fuel is a challenge right now but if we can do something for an hour, we’re gonna do it, Sarah McClintock with Tiger Fuel said. “This is just a small window of time, but we we like to welcome our customers in and say, hey, we can drop the price for a little.”

McClintock says Tiger Fuel can do this, because they are a family run business from the area and they care about their customers.

“We’re very hospitable,” McClintock said. “It’s very often that you’ll see our market associate or our food training manager giving someone a hug at the pump because it’s maybe their neighbor or someone they know in the community. So, we’ll be doing this again.”

Team members say this could happen again at a different location in the future. They say if you have the tiger fuel app, you’ll be the first to know when these sales pop up.
