The new Mobil on the run, on route 104 at exit 23 is huge. The site preparation did something either not legal or in violation of state rules for cutting trees when that heavily wooded, hillside lot was clear-cut. Not too sure about the tree rule violation but whatever....it used to be a nice stand of large pine trees.
Nobody cares a hoot about brand names for gasoline, it's all about the price. And, the price of diesel is still above 3 dollars. Why is that when diesel is a less refined product to make than gasoline?

FLL, The diesel prices are a mystery to me as well. diesel is essentially home heating oil. It used to be that diesel was less expensive.
I can't wait to see the prices for fuel at the three 104/93 stations when that Mobil comes on line-it always amazes me how they match prices and makes me wonder if there is any collusion or if it is pure competition.
