Mother Nature increased the price of regular gasoline at a Trotwood Speedway by nearly five times Thursday.

The price of regular gasoline at the station, located in the 2000 block of Shiloh Springs Road, is $2.24 per gallon. However, the sign now reads $9.94 per gallon for regular and $9.92 per gallon for diesel after being struck by lightning.

A store representative confirmed a lightning strike caused the elevated price on the sign, but the pump is still charging customers $2.24. The sign may not be fixed for another day.
