Re: OT - impromptu gas price survey

I think it's what used to be called "dump gas." The name-brand distributor doesn't want his trucks coming back to the barn at night with their tanks half full, so they arrange to sell these small lots at discount to no-name stations. That also means that no-name gas is probably a mixture of several dumps from different distributors.

Most likely the lowest price they can finagle. Not from any one brand supplier.

I just bought some in OKC for 3.68. At a 7-11. I always wonder where they 
get their gas.  Does anyone know?

In ETN, it has been around 3.88 or 3.89. There are a couple of places where you can get gas a couple of pennies lower with a membership card.
