Gas station problem
I am wondering what gas mileage everyone gets from various gas stations.....I kno if i use the exxon I get better gas mileage then the super Wawa.....super Wawa is better then the Turkey Hill/Citgo....and Sunoco is good but always cost the most......The problem I have with the Exxon is it's ran by those we are goin to war with to put it nicely......I am wondering if i am crazy or other's are experiencing the same.......

Gas station problem
I get Hess gas 95% of the time. 76 gas gives me about the same mileage. I did get a little better mpg on a tank of Exxon one time...I noticed but I did not really think about testing it again. I might try Exxon next time and see if it I get repeat higher mpg.

My truck seems toget better mileage on gas from Chevron rather than MAverick, or Flying J. Of course I might just drive differently and think the gas is making the difference. As long as it stays about 11MPG in town, I'm happy.

I stay away from Hess like the plague (not the best quality of gas), never touch BP, although they did merge with Amoco (Amoco uses quality fuel), avoid Exxon as a political step rather than fuel-quality related, and usually stick to Mobil. Sunoco gas is pretty good, too, although it is rather pricy. I also don't use "no-name" gas stations because I'm not willing to take the risk on quality (some are good, some are bad -- you never know).
Just my 2 cents.

I did some queries on gas in our area. Our local Albertsons store buys from an outfit that supposedly gets its gas from Alaska oil locations ( hope it wasn't b.s.).
I'd rather buy from Alaska than the .......well you know

Dude 
2,15 for regular unleaded ! I filled up yesterday at Chevron regular unleaded 87 octane 1.52. Which I thought was robbery ! How can you afford to drive a lifted truck with a V-10 with those prices ?

Gas station problem
I only use Sunoco since the local station is one of my best customers. My truck doesn't get decent gas mileage on anyone's gas. And, hey Godzilla, never buy gas from Turkey Hill, UniMart, 7-11, or whatever convenience store. They usually buy their gas from the cheapest bidder. I get more customers that come in for Isopropyl dry gas after filling up at the convenience store. On a side note, I'm from Shamokin, PA and spend a lot of time at Maple Grove. Very familiar with your area and the Reading to Philly area.

I am not sure if you are aware of this but Exxon bought Mobil awhile back. So avoiding Exxon and using Mobil for political reasons isn't hurting Exxon. Just thought that you might want to know.
Thanks

Exxon produces the best fuel, although using 89 octane will create a noticable change for the better from any station. And for Flying J, not familiar with their gasoline,but I do know that they sell crap diesel. Remember to check your tire pressure too....2 psi can make a difference in your mileage.
