SASKATOON -

Drivers passing the Co-op gas station at Preston Crossing were in for a surprise Thursday morning.

A sign at the gas station read regular gas was selling for $2.39 per litre, roughly a dollar higher than the actual asking price.

The sign prompted many drivers to do a double-take, with many calling Co-op to ask what the actual price was.
