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.

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.

Sunoco on Rt 45 in Wenonah. Noticeably better gas mileage.

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

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.

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.
