MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – One South Florida Wawa gas station gave away free gas Thursday to its first 99 customers.
The gas station that hosted the giveaway with radio station 99Jamz and 411PAIN is located at 2700 NW 183rd St. in Miami Gardens. Miami Gardens Councilwoman Katrina Wilson also sponsored the event.
Sky 10 was above the area at 10:45 a.m. as a long line of cars waited for their turn to pump gas.
A total of $41 worth of gas was provided to each of the 99 customers.
Those who pulled up said they were grateful for the giveaway due to high gas prices.
“It’s ridiculous…I’m just about to get a bike and a motorcycle, because this is just too much,” Miami Gardens resident Tequila Horne said.
“I’m grateful for what I can get … gas is very high right now, so this big boy right here, it means a lot to me,” another Miami Gardens local Colleen Brian said.
As of noon, free gas was still being given out, but it’s unclear how much longer it will be until they reach their 99th customer.
