Three blocks from the Fresh Start there’s another place to buy gasoline. Cheaper?
I still have difficulty believing the low gasoline prices here in town. Of course, even the low prices here don’t match what the woman who runs the local military museum says she saw in Chadron, a town north of here about 58 miles: gasoline at $1.70 a gallon! It’s almost cheap enough to drive up there for gasoline. Certainly, if I had to drive up that way for any reason, I’d keep that price in mind and refuel there instead of here.
I get gasoline here, mostly because it’s a block away from me, just around the corner.
Last summer, this sign read 3.569.
Four blocks away from where I buy gas, this mini-mart sells gasoline for less.
Quite a bit less, it seems!

No, but it’s still cheaper than where I buy gasoline. Diesel users get a break here, though.
Clear on the other side of town (and past another station I’ll come back to when I’m on the right side of the road for photos) is the new Maverik station, the one I thought might be behind this little price deflation….
It’s cheaper than where I buy gasoline, but not the cheapest place in town. It sits across from a sister station to the one where I buy gasoline. The sister station’s price sign was, um, “not working”.
Well, I doubled back to the Git N Split (sic), which is open 24 hours a day, and is about two-thirds of the way across town from me. If I drive somewhere before the sun comes up, I often buy gasoline here. It’s the only branded gasoline in town, though Cenex is a Co-Op station, one of three along this street operated by them.
And it is the price winner for my town since you get a 10¢ a gallon break for paying cash. That’s why you “Git N Split”: you are robbing the owner every time you pump gasoline into your car! 🙂
