It's a corny wannabe Sheetz. Seriously, up at Penn State I saw so many arguments break out between Philly people hyping Wawa, and the sane normal people who realize Sheetz is way better. If you hate the Eagles' fans you should hate Wawa. Their supporters are one and the same: drunk, annoying, and wrong.
The rolls Wawa uses trumps Sheetz' rolls...it's not even close...
Coffee or Cold Cut Sub, Wawa > Sheetz. Everything else, Sheetz > Wawa.

I have a Wawa and Sheetz right near me, to me they are the same place. Wawa with the slight edge simply because it is cleaner.
I will say Royal Farms potatoe wedges are the bomb.

Wow. We are at $1.29 (Kroger) here in Roanoke. With my Plus CArd savings I paid $0.99/gallon. We're drinking this sh*t with our Cocoa Puffs.
Since everyone blamed Bush for the high gas prices, can we safely assume that Bush is to be commended for this low in gas prices?

No intelligent person puts the blame for oil prices all on a president, that is just stupid.
There are things he does that can impact the price, however. hostile actions not in line with OPEC, not researching enough on alternate energies, etc.

I appreciate the drop in gas prices as much as the next guy (I hope all the speculators are eating raman noodles and sleeping in boxes). BUT - I suggest this price reduction is a short term thing that will end when the recovery begins. The same real stresses on oil prices will return. In addition, the remedies being used by the Fed and the US Gov. are inflationary. Eventually, all this money being pumped into the system will drive the actual value of money down and prices up. Right now, with no money in the system (b/c of the lack credit and the loss of real wages), gas prices are falling from both the lower global demand and the depression of prices in general. This will change.
Will they hit 4.00 again soon? I doubt it in 2009 but my guess is that in 2010, with the recovery gianing strength prices will again top 3.00
Now is the time to invest the oil savings in the infrastructure of alternative tech.
Don't get me started Bro!

HECK NO, The oil companies feared The Obama so they have brought the prices back down!If this is true, and they are selling at a loss of $2.00 per gallon or more, then why don't they fear him enough to go out of business? Something ain't right.

The price of oil per barrel is hovering around $50 now. It was around $140 this summer. That's the reason: global demand is down 10% because there's no global economic growth.
