Thursday afternoon, I filled up my nearly half-full, trusty Taurus for fifteen bucks. You can enjoy the same proportionate savings if you say, “Fill ‘er up” at the Hess station on Route 22 West (near “The Office” at the Chimney Rock Road exit).
At $1.579 for regular, that Hess location has to be offering one of the lowest cash prices in the area. Miles later, also on Route 22 West, you should find fairly competitive prices beginning at the Exxon Station just past the Shop Rite. But don’t expect them to be the lowest until you get to the Valero and Liberty stations just a couple of miles further down. If you live near the last two fill-up emporiums, expect prices to be competitive with the Hess Chimney Rock Road location.
But don’t hold your breath if you follow Chimney Rock Road up the mountain and onto Washington Valley Road, where the regular price of gas at the Exxon Station near Blessed Sacrament Church in Martinsville is $1.999. Nor should you expect similar values at some of the other Hess locations in Bridgewater.
Did I mention that my aging tuned-up Taurus delivers 30 mpg’s on the highway?
