Wawa is a gas station, I'm guessing it's just an east coast one though, because there's one right near my house. It's similar to Sheetz in that I think all of them have a deli and a small grocery selection.

Sheetz is an East Coast thing too...

jamf - Wawa is Circle K meets Subway (but better than Subway). Sheetz is Circle K meets Subway on Steroids. Both are truly good places to get some grub on the go.

BTW - my Wawa has gas for $1.59 right now. Filled up my 22 gallon SUV the other day for $32. Awesome.

It's a corny wannabe Sheetz. Seriously, up at Penn State I saw so many arguments break out between Philly people hyping Wawa, and the sane normal people who realize Sheetz is way better. If you hate the Eagles' fans you should hate Wawa. Their supporters are one and the same: drunk, annoying, and wrong.

The rolls Wawa uses trumps Sheetz' rolls...it's not even close...

Coffee or Cold Cut Sub, Wawa > Sheetz. Everything else, Sheetz > Wawa.

I appreciate the drop in gas prices as much as the next guy (I hope all the speculators are eating raman noodles and sleeping in boxes). BUT - I suggest this price reduction is a short term thing that will end when the recovery begins. The same real stresses on oil prices will return. In addition, the remedies being used by the Fed and the US Gov. are inflationary. Eventually, all this money being pumped into the system will drive the actual value of money down and prices up. Right now, with no money in the system (b/c of the lack credit and the loss of real wages), gas prices are falling from both the lower global demand and the depression of prices in general. This will change.

Will they hit 4.00 again soon? I doubt it in 2009 but my guess is that in 2010, with the recovery gianing strength prices will again top 3.00

Now is the time to invest the oil savings in the infrastructure of alternative tech.

$1.26 today in Roanoke. When ahead and rinsed the dirt off of my car with a couple extra gallons.

I have a Wawa and Sheetz right near me, to me they are the same place. Wawa with the slight edge simply because it is cleaner.

I will say Royal Farms potatoe wedges are the bomb.

So gas goes from $4 to $1.50 in a few months. Yeah, speculators weren't driving up the prices. :frusty:

[onlydarksets]

I'm getting robbed - $1.61.

[firstdown]

You guy's are getting robbed I just filled up today at $1.29.

Does anyone else think that maybe Iran is pulling the strings of Hamas in order to drive up the price of oil? Economically, they actually benefit from this unrest more than the Palestinians ever will. Ditto the Saudis. Just a thought.
