We're a one-car house and until we can get to DC and back on a charge in the winter - I'll stick with hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkland Signature (Costco branded) is better than a lot of name brands at a far better price. Completely agree about Costco and Kirkland being better; it's just the distance factor, as you mentioned, and how busy the place gets (to say nothing of the parking situation ha) that keep me away. BJ's was simply a decision borne out of convenience. Side note, LNS got 2.21" yesterday. Yahtzee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they don't have additives/detergents that help them burn cleaner which the branded top tier fuels do. Driving 15 minutes to save 1 mpg is not really worthy. One of my biggest gripes about gas stations is so many still lack Apple Pay. In fact, outside Wawa and Sheetz they're pretty hard to find. Grrrrrrrrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see all the neighborhood restauranters in there buying cases/crates of soda's to upcharge me on my next visit. One of them, I think Costco, is going to start requiring ID of some kind to enter. Cutting down on sharing cards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrrrrrrr My worry is that I often see unbranded gas trucks at all stations so unless you are testing pre-pump, I am guessing some branded stations get away with selling the same gas as the other places.

They’ll lose their franchise if they do (well if it isn’t a shady place) that. If it’s Shell or Sunoco or Exxon it’s getting that specific fuel with its specific added detergents.

I still like Sheetz MTO better than Wawa sandwiches. We had Wawas by the dozen in Florida so tried their sandwiches a lot. No offense to your opinion.

Newman Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 A cutoff trough will dip down into the region early this week. Low temps Tuesday/Wednesday night in Harrisburg are forecasted to reach around 53° by the NWS, though some models including the GFS dip the LSV into the upper 40s with clear skies. As a note, Harrisburg proper hasn't dipped as low as 53° in August since 2013. And it also hasn't gotten into the 40s in August since 1987. Williamsport is forecasted to reach the upper 40s, which last happened in August in 2013 as well. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take low 40's in colder locales outside the Capitol Area Heat Island for MDT to break that 50 point IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember Wawa'a price, but they're usually more convenient than Sam's, except here. We have a Sam's club in Hanover but no Wawa. When I go back to my old digs near BWI, the 7-11 on Aviation Blvd. (road that borders the east side of BWI) has started selling pretzels similar to Wawa's, so I usually make a point to pickup one there.
