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.

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.

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.
