Lowest Local Gas Prices ?

3 small stations have closed and a new giant one is opening. West Alton country store, Weirs Texaco, and Keytown Irving, across from Meredith Ford have all closed. Just a guess but probably the high storage tank insurance and high credit card processing fee did them out of business.

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?
