With gas prices pushing 4 dollars a gallon, a discount of .25 cents per gallon is welcome news to anyone out on the roads. That’s what Jon’s Pit Stop in Jackson offered to anyone who filled up their vehicles there Wednesday, beginning at 12 noon. Drivers lined up in the mid-day heat to take advantage of a rare discount on a precious commodity. The sale lasted the rest of the day until the fuel supply of 4000 gallons was gone. Each driver was limited to a 20-gallon maximum per vehicle, with no gas cans allowed. The discount was not given at the pump, but once customers finished pumping, they immediately received a discount at the register. According to shop owners Polly and Jon Luy, the discount is their token of gratitude to all of those customers who shop at Jon’s and buy locally. The event was also made possibly through the efforts of the Short Circuit Electric Company.
