Along Business Rt. 50 there are two gas stations almost side by side, (one business separates the two). Gordy Tiger Mart and 7-11 across the street from them was selling gas for $2.43 per gallon, (regular unleaded). However, the former Citgo, now a no name brand was selling gas for $2.64 a gallon, $ .21 cents per gallon more?
Another gas station near the new Fire Station was also selling gas for around the same price as the old Citgo.
For $ .21 cents per gallon difference, even I would have been filling up at a Gordy Tiger Mart. Well, maybe not but I'd think twice about it.
Last year at this time gas was selling for $3.36 a gallon.
why dont you ask them and maybe it will make more sense.
ReplyDeletegas stations depending on volume, credit history, etc. pay differently. Maybe a simple question asked to the owner might be able to shed some light.
The Universal station on Snow Hill Rd is the same way. About $.20 higher than everyone else. The price hasn't changed there in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteUniversal is in bankruptcy and has no credit to buy fuel.
ReplyDeleteOwners are just tired of breaking even on gas. So they raise it a little to make some kind of profit on gasoline.
