It's only worth the trip to King George if you are passing through. When we used to drive to Norfolk or Nashville, we would stop at the Sheetz; and then two or three more times along the way when heading to Nashville. Gas prices used to get lower, the further south you travelled. Not anymore. Using the highest price in both Nashville and here, $2.26 here and $1.96 in Nashville; $1.89 where my Brother lives; just outside of Nashville.
The trip is worth it for me due to the cigarette prices. A carton across the bridge is $45 as apposed to $65 here. I try and plan for close to an empty tank when I get there but the gas isn't enough of a savings to make much of a difference. Usually the gas at the WaWa I go to is between $.10 and $.20 cheaper and if I am completely empty I take 25 gallons. At most that works out to $5 savings for a full tank. Don't get me wrong, over time that adds up and if I was closer to the bridge I would fill up there every week but I waste more than $5 worth of gas getting to that station.
Only at WaWa? I thought almost all gas stations raised prices before a holiday. This Monday coming is Columbus Day. I'll try to remember to check this weekend.I have noticed that the prices at WaWa always seem to go up just before a holiday weekend
This morning, WaWa in Charlotte Hall is $2.19, WaWa at 4/235 is $2.28..usually not that different..
Just a thought but the price hike might have been an overreaction to the news that BP has to pay Billions due to the golf spill. I never quite understood that when some disaster hits some places will immediately hike there gas prices up. I always thought the gas was paid for and in the tanks so why would a disaster change the price of gas already paid for.
$1.85 at Sheetz in King George
$1.85 at Sheetz in King George
So gas is below $2.00 in Waldorf but still $2.19 at the WaWa and Sheetz down here?
