Motorists in South Florida got a break at the gas pumps when a manager's mistake allowed gasoline to be sold for 32 cents a gallon instead of $3.20, according to a Local 6 News report.

A long line of vehicles quickly formed at the RaceTrac gas station in Hallandale, Fla., after word began to spread of the mistake.

"I'm going to tell everyone I know about pump No. 4," a motorist told a news reporter as he pumped the 32-cent gas into his car.

A manager at the gas station realized the error and changed the gas price back to $3.20 a gallon.

RaceTrac would not say how many hundreds of gallons were pumped into cars at 32 cents before the error was caught.
