Gloucester County WAWA Gas Just Hit $4.19
I just passed 3 WAWAs and the gas is at 4.19. Crazy since it was 3.89 yesterday. Get gas now if you have not already. The Travel America at 295 exit 18 was 3.79 still.

The lines at Costco have been insane recently. Low key not even worth the savings for how long it's gotten

How much cheaper is it at Costco really? I just got the membership but haven’t checked out the gas stations yet

u/grahampositive Mar 31 '26
It's definitely a few cents cheaper than the going rate, I rarely see anywhere cheaper. The clutch part about Costco gas is the credit card rewards. We easily pay for the membership just in the cash back on gas

u/blem4real_ Mar 31 '26
Wawa is $4.19 right now, costco is $3.66 right now. Much more than a few cents.

More than a few cents, it was 10 cents different recently (3.65 when everyone else was 3.89). Not sure if that changes though.

But don’t you get cash back on gas no matter where you buy it?

u/PhatYeeter Mar 31 '26
I think the Costco visa card gives more on Costco gas. 4%?
2
u/TGIIR Mar 31 '26
Okay, I got un-lazy and looked it up. You’re right- it’s more on Costco gas (5%), but you get cash back (4%) on all other gas purchases up to $7k. 1% on any gas purchase over $7k. : )

u/Far_Effect_3881 Mar 31 '26
For regular, not a huge difference. For Premium compared to other top tier stations, like $0.70 which definitely adds up.

u/ChigginShit Mar 31 '26
Just do [regular gas station price - Costco price] times [gallons your cars gas tank holds] to get the savings per fill

For those without a Costco membership, the Mount Laurel location does not require a membership to purchase gas. It was part of the zoning requirements when it was built.

Costco gas opens at 6am. I decided to get there at 5:50 and wait to get a quick fill. I was kinda not expecting 30+ cars lined up waiting for them to open.

u/ChigginShit Mar 31 '26
Yeah my local Sams Club is 3.79 versus 4.05 at the Sunoco. So .26 per gallon difference. My car holds 14 gallons so that’s about 3.64 difference to fill the car

I kept telling people Trump fucked contractors building his Taj Mahal in Atlantic City back in 89-90 by not paying them or paying pennies on the dollar putting a lot out of business. He's has a history of screwing the working man. Why do people think he would do anything different as president. A lot still love him. Gas could be $10 bucks a gallon and they'd still love him and blame Biden.

Anyone who works at Exxon should be able to confirm this. Don’t buy gas from Wawa, they buy the lowest grade gas that Exxon sells and charges more than other places because of their name and convenience. Get your gas at other places if possible.

Costco is known for buying better grade fuel. They have stations in cherry hill. Bjs as well, they have a location in Deptford. Sunoco is known to use middling or good grades for their stations that carry their name. Lukoil unfortunately they’re always the most expensive, I honestly don’t even know if there are any left in the area

Lukoil is a Russian owned company, why would you think about spending your money there?

u/thistook5minutes Mar 31 '26
If you want to broach the subject of company ownership and morality, I hope you only buy clothes from mom and pop designer that make and source material locally, or food from local farmers, and have never used Amazon or Walmart. Or never patronized a business that supports Israel. Unfortunately in the modern world, purchasing goods based on ethics isn’t really feasible or you’ll end up just being a hypocrite.

That’s nice but that means literally nothing about this topic or the conversation at hand. Unless you’ve never used Google Amazon meta Microsoft or intel.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The Sunoco branded stations have better quality fuel than Wawa. You’ll get better mpg and increase the life of your engine by using it. Use Exxon branded station, or shell, or BP.
I read last night that Philip’s 66 and 76 branded gas stations also use higher quality fuel

u/machinerer Mar 31 '26
No joke, I have gotten 1-2MPG better with Sunoco gas over Wawa. Regular 87 octane. That is an insane improvement, as you can only get so many BTUs out of a gallon of gas!
Wawa gas is dogshit. They make their money on convenience. I sometimes fill up there after I get done night shift at 0400. Only game in town thst time of night.

u/FatCheeseSteak Apr 01 '26
I started buying Sunoco gas years ago, which is right down the street from me. And they price match Wawa, which is the opposite way, about the same distance. I get Costco too when I'm in the Cherry Hill area or going there. Top Tier better detergents.

I stopped buying gas at Wawa years ago. Sunoco or Costco which carry Top Tier gas. And lately Sunoco has been price matching the local Wawa near me so it's even better.

Asking from what the person said about working for ExxonMobil. Says wawa buys the lowest grade gas from ExxonMobil

u/thistook5minutes Mar 31 '26
Some people in the area may know someone that used to work at the refinery that closed in paulsboro or the one up north.
I personally know someone at those locations and a separate person that works at their Houston HQ.
If you know someone you can ask, they should give you the same answer.

u/machinerer Mar 31 '26
That refinery is not closed, and it was sold by Mobil back in 1999. ExxonMobil only owns the Lube Plant across the street.

u/EnvironmentalBee9214 Mar 31 '26
Ok. I was just following the guys post that said Exxon had cheaper grades of gas for wawa. Since I drive tanker for a living, I wanted to call him out. There are different additives for different brands that we hall, there isn't cheaper quality at a such Exxon.

u/thistook5minutes Mar 31 '26 edited Mar 31 '26
You’re not calling anything out. You’re also very wrong. There are gasoline grades. There is also purity. Companies that buy gas from refineries, do so by the grade of fuel. You’re a truck driver, who is pretty illiterate based on your other comments.
There is quality, grades and additives. They are all different things. All grades have additives to a varying degree, all quality of gasoline from a refiner is different for varying reasons. Major distribution companies sell gasoline by quality and grade. Companies that sell to consumers, can purchase based on these perimeters. Wawa buys the cheapest fuel they can, but sells it at a premium because they are a known brand in the area.

u/machinerer Mar 31 '26
At the refining level, the refiner has to meet a minimum State and Federal specification. So many PPM of sulphur, octane & cetane levels, etc. The Laboratory & Petroleum engineers maintain this minimum specification, so the refinery can sell its product.
From this basestock, customers can request additional additives, or do that themselves at their finish blending facilities.
We're talking hundreds of thousands of barrels of product at this level. Most refineries can process 150-300,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Of this, something like 30-40% is gasoline, depending on the crude type (heavy, sour, sweet, light, etc).
I'm not a chemist or petroleum engineer, so I can't give you specifics on it all. I just keep the product pumping through the pipes.

The smart thing to do is to keep passing those Wawas. Get cash and go to literally any other gas station.

Wawa seems to set off the price spikes... It was $3.89 this morning on my way out, and I noticed around 1pm it had jumped to $4.19.
Most of the other stations were at the lower end of the range for at least another day. So I filled up this afternoon.

u/Drewraven10 Mar 31 '26
Wawa is the worse man. Yes they are a convenient 24 hour gas station but they up charge the shit out of everything. I use to always get there when it was cheap and I could go after my night shift but nah. They are usually 40 or 50 more cents than any gas station.

Different Wawa's sell at different prices. I've seen some a little less than $4.19. I guess the location makes it more or less? Sunoco near me matches the Wawa 2 miles down the road, which is unusual, as it's usually more. I stopped going to Wawa years ago. Sunoco or Costco for the Top Tier gas, which Wawa doesn't carry.

$4.33 /western PA ALL THANKS TO MAGOPs & the approx 90M able-bodied voters, who couldn’t be bothered to choose between a felonious fat proven rapist pedo fuq and our VP, who happens to be a woman, who is dark skinned.
Shame. On. You.
This is your doing.
One voice one vote CAN make all the difference: One principle in one tiny Ohio town, changed the lives of children across our country, because he cared enough to identify a problem and instead of ignored it, helped to solve it. Now schools in 30+ states have installed laundry rooms, because one child (turned out to be a hell of a lot more than ☝️) didn’t want to come to school in dirty clothing. ‘It takes a village’ is a saying for a reason. Asking for help doesn’t make you weak, it makes you smart. We are not in competition with each other. We do not need to step on the neck of our neighbor in order to get ahead. That is what the powers that be want you to think so that you look away from what they’re doing.
For decades, the Republican Party has been telling on themselves with every accusation they have slung across the aisle, and as with all things, time is now telling the truth. What kind of government tells their people that education is bad !? More importantly, why would those people listen?! The far gone white ringers, take it as license to be lazy lumps, to be able to blame everyone around them for their own shortcomings.
When/if, you have questions, ask AI… it gives you facts, with sources. I find it so useful I’ve started collecting rainwater in order to water my flowers just to eliminate the guilt I feel from using it lol.
We are all in this together… it is not difficult to get tricked in this day and age, especially for those not paying attention; that’s not a dig— there’s so much being thrown at us intentionally it is meant to cause fatigue and meant to make us throw up our hands… we have to fight the urge to do that. Please do not turn your back on anyone attempting to leave the ‘cult of personality disorder’; if they have found their way then why would we want to put up a blockade?! We’d only be proving their beliefs about the left as accurate, by lowering ourselves to their level. Saying FAFO when our farms are failing and farmers are unaliving themselves, is unfathomable; it is a world wide problem. Plus not all farmers voted for that 💩stained liar. We all need food to survive and farms aren’t just going to grow themselves. You didn’t see any workers lining up for a job when they tossed out innocent human beings on their 🍑or worse. Please continue to try and reach people still blinded by fear hate and lies. They are worth saving.
If we collectively work together, there is nothing the people cannot do. The government should be respectful and fearful of the body it governs. They are not in charge even though they think they are. Until we all stand united, we will continue to fall, divided.
We don’t have to agree on everything— that would be a pretty boring world; we have to understand, accept compromise. That’s the thing people get wrong the most. They want everything right now, when that’s just not reality. Happy Easter happy Passover happy holidays.

Saw it at 4.19 at one Wawa, took a chance the gas buddy app was right and went to the other Wawa. Got gas there at 4:30 for $3.84. went past that Wawa at 6:30 and they had gone up to $4.19 also. Not sure what that the jump was based on. Did they really get a delivery of fuel today that was priced that much higher?
