Well, it matched the Sheetz up the road until Sheetz upped their price, and its been over a month, so I'm not sure why you say that.
Because it is common tactic in the oil and gas industry to bring back customers or pick up new ones after a shut down for repairs or remodeling or opening a new site. I worked hand to hand with oil companies for over 30 years and have seen it hundreds of times . But you don't have to take my word for it time will show you .

Oh, I understand, and I was sort of thinking that myself, especially when I saw they matched Sheetz. And when they raised it to $3.49, that what I thought, until I saw that same day that Sheetz was at that same price also. How long do those teasers last? We are closing on a month and a half and they are still matching the "budget" station prices.
Technically in Maryland it’s illegal to sell gas for less than you’ve paid for it.
Come on oh great wizard you don't REALLY think they are selling at a loss, do you?
Do you remember when Sheetz opened? Kerosiline was .99C a gallon and the rest of the state was at $2.00. It’s called a loss leader and it gets a companies foot in the door and also puts smaller mom and pop stations out of business. So yes, the great wizard does in fact believe that they will take a short term loss for a long term gain.
And branded. Think seasonal additives.

I never really worried about that. The 350hp, 20psi Neon was at 135K when I sold it off working fine. The 178K 4325hp SRT-8 was working fine when it was sold. Both lived on Sheetez and Wawa 91 or 93 almost exclusively.
No I do not remember .99 kerosene at Sheetz, stopped using it about 40 years ago.
The point was not so much about the kerosene, but that companies can and will sell products at a loss to get a customer in to buy a higher markup item.
