gfNDfan Posted October 30 Posted October 30 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. 1 Quote
Redneksioux Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Interesting that gas in forks is back to being much more expensive than what it is in Fargo. Quote

I will pay an extra $4 dollars per tank when filling up if it's a local family business vs. TransAmerica or the Waltons 2 1 Quote

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. Quote

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. Quote

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

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. 1 Quote

gfNDfan Posted yesterday at 05:58 AM Author Posted yesterday at 05:58 AM Drove by tonight and gas is still ONLY $2.63 a gallon at Gateway and I-29. CHEAPEST GAS IN GF! TSA Truckstop and Simonson's are the same. I buy at Simonson's because I like to buy local and I'm pretty sure it galls the HELL out of him to have to match a national truckstop when he's charging 15 to 20 cents more a gallon at all his other stations around town. I'd feel worse is he didn't act like he was the godfather of GF gas prices all these years. If he charged $2.63 at every one of his stations around town but he doesn't. 10-15 cents more at a station just a mile or two away...really? Quote
