Cheapest in the Nation Part 2
Tonight, on the eve of Peak Oil and a monster hurricane, I got gasoline at the Wawa that now has the cheapest gasoline in the nation. As of 2004 September 15 2015, gasoline at the Wawa and the Liberty near Chesterfield, Virginia, still was selling for $1.499 a gallon, and the BP was selling it for $1.519 and has to settle for third place. I bought about ten gallons for about fifteen dollars, and strangely enough, there was an opening! I did not have to wait. After I got my gasoline, I drove off and parked at a parking place near the Wawa, allowing the next customer to get his gasoline. This is a good idea when places are crowded and/or prices are low.
I could not enter this Wawa's price in Gas Price Watch, because there was nowhere to enter it - it did not list the gas station. I had to enter it in, but as of late today, the Wawa was still not at the site. However, it did say the cheapest gasoline was at Chester, Virginia for $1.499. It was the Liberty's gasoline, but I did not enter that. Someone else must have. Why can't these people get the Wawa listed? Wawa is a major chain in this part of the country (it means "Canada goose" in a Native American language).
And in any case, a gas war occurring on the eve of Peak Oil has got to be one of the craziest things going on right now. It seems words mean more than goods. The words of the US Government today saying that the oil fields of Louisiana are safe from Hurricane Ivan the Terrible were enough to cause crude oil prices to drop late today. So words will do the job, that is, until the last drips come from the gas pump and leave the pump dry.
