A Major Gas Station Just Announced A HUGE Gas Sale!

Uncategorized

A major gas station chain in North Carolina is reducing “pain at the pump” for customers through the July 4 weekend.

Ahead of July 4, the family-owned convenience store chain Sheetz is cutting prices at the pump. President and CEO Travis Sheetz said the holiday weekend was a great opportunity to provide some financial relief to travelers.

Here’s what the company said in a news release on its website:

“Effective immediately, Sheetz, a major Mid-Atlantic restaurant and convenience chain, will help reduce pain at the pump for consumers by reducing the price of fuel to $3.99 a gallon for Unleaded 88 and $3.49 a gallon for E85.”

“This is a limited-time offer that will be available through the July 4th holiday travel season.” 

Sheetz noted that drivers need to be sure their vehicles will run properly using the two blends because E85 is less compatible with many vehicles:

“Unleaded 88 is approved by the EPA for use in vehicles for model years 2001 or newer as well as light-duty trucks, SUVs and Flex Fuel Vehicles.”

“E85 contains more ethanol (51 percent – 83 percent) and is not compatible with all vehicles. It is designed specifically for ‘flexible fuel vehicles’ or FFVs. FFVs can use regular gasoline (E10), E15, or E85. When available, E85 is clearly designated as a different fuel type and should not be used in standard vehicles. Check your owner’s manual to see if your car is able to run with E85.”

Sheetz has over 500 locations across the mid-Atlantic states — Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North Carolina.

Gas prices have been surging since April 2020 and have continued surging since Russia invaded Ukraine, resulting in sanctions from the United States and its allies.

Currently, the average price of gas in North Carolina is $4.53 a gallon, according to the AAA.

That’s the good news! The prices are effective immediately, the company said.
