A photograph shows an actual gas price of $7.11 at a 7-Eleven Store in mid-June 2022.While the photograph is genuine, it was taken in March 2021, not June 2022. More importantly, the prices listed on the sign did not reflect genuine gas prices. Rather, the sign displayed a “test price” of $7.11 to promote the opening of a new store.In June 2022, as gas prices continued to rise around the globe, a photograph went viral that supposedly showed gas prices at a 7-Eleven store had reached $7.11.
“lol these aren’t actual prices. It was before the gas station was open, they just used 7.11 as the gas prices on the sign to have them working prior to opening” It isn’t uncommon for a 7-Eleven store to display gas prices of $7.11 in the days leading to a new store opening, the company told us. “This photo is more than a year old. In the past, it was common for building contractors to test the fuel price signs at newly built, but not yet open, 7-Eleven locations to $7.11 in honor of the store’s name,” a company spokesperson said. “We have since requested that building contractors stop this practice and hope this recently re-circulated photo did not cause any confusion for 7-Eleven customers.
