The signs are up.....two nice looking conservative dark green w/ red letter signs that say

GAS STATION
open 24 hours...self-serve...credit cards

Down at the bottom of the ski area road, in what used to be the one and only gas station in town, it's a gas station owned by the Town of Waterville Valley. Are there any other New Hampshire towns which run an open-to-the public gas station?

Used to be a Mobil with snacks and the only Mega-Bucks in town, and the last owner was very happy to be able to sell out to the town. The town has been using the garage bays for the DPW, or something, and now after spending like $15k for a fire suppression system, and pump-tank upgrades should soon be opening for business. I only know what I see?

What with 100's of skiers passing by, who know's if it's a good idea or not? Next closest gas station is eleven miles away.

Hopefully, it will have some nice low gasoline prices, and they can copy Wal-Mart and say "Live better- Buy Waterville Valley Gas......only 2.95!"

The sign on the two old pumps says 'closed until Dec 5."
...............................

In December 2000, a gallon of gas had fallen from 1.25 down to .95, and Exxon stock was at 30 dollars. As you know, today a gal of gas goes for 3.00 and Exxon stock sells for 90 dollars. It's the same gallon of gas, just costs more.

A gallon of gas, is a gallon of gas, is a gallon of gas....only thing that counts is the price, which is too much!
