Cheap Gas in GF - There's a new PLAYA!

[gfNDfan]

  Used to be the cheapest gas in GF was always at Sam's Club because, with apologies to the GOBC, no one dared oppose the Grand Forks gas mafia led by a local station owner who shall remain nameless.  Sure they don't wanna hear it but there's a new kid in town at the TA Truckstop on Gateway at I-29.  They're at 2.63 a gallon while other prices around town vary up to 2.90.  Even Sam's was at 2.74 - 11 cents more expensive. 

  Funny part is the aforementioned "boss" happens to have a station across from TA so they have to sell it at the same price (2.63).  Another one of their company stations farther down Gateway was at 2.84 - 21 cents a gallon more expensive a mile and a half away.   So if you're looking for the cheapest gas in GF head to Gateway drive.

Interesting that gas in forks is back to being much more expensive than what it is in Fargo.

I will pay an extra $4 dollars per tank when filling up if it's a local family business vs. TransAmerica or the Waltons

Yeah, was down in Fargo on Tuesday and was shocked to see prices 20-25 cents/gal cheaper down there.  Such BS that it's that much more in GF.

The commodity gurus can weigh in but cheaper gas throughout a particular city usually means that location is a/has a key junction for pipelines, truck routes and/or railroads.

Therefore, FAR > GF, as far as gasoline distribution.

You're missing the point!  I still gas up at the mafia station on Gateway not TA but he has to sell his gas at the lower price because of the competition right across the street so HAHA!   He has artificially inflated gas prices in GF for years - now he has to take some of his own medicine at one of his stations at least.  You can still buy local and save some cash.

I wholeheartedly agree Fargo has much more GAS than GF - no further questions your honor!
