NY allows half-pricing at gas pumps

NEW YORK State Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hooker says the price of fuel, now over $4 a gallon, has risen higher than pumps can calculate in some cases. Stations with non-digital fuel pumps can apply for half-pricing since older equipment can't compute prices higher than $3.99.

Signs advertising gas prices must still advertise the full price per gallon, but the price on the pump would be half that price. A sign on the pump would explain that the actual sale price is double the total amount displayed.

The half-pricing would be temporary, until the station received new computers.

The problem results from a national shortage of replacement computers.
