Swifty oil

Marathon/Speedway buying up the competition. The one in Mooresville is open and the clerk said that Marathon bought 200 of the 250 stations. Marathon sets the price and the others jump to the music

Would explain why the new Marathon is right down the street from the old Swifty on the east side.

Golden Imperial and United Oil. Those were the gas only stations that morphed into Speedway.

I thought they picked up Clark, too. No ?

What kind of mpg are you guys getting with cheap gas.

Never paid attention, I just drive.

I don't think so. There was a Clark station in Mitchell until a month or so ago. Whoever bought it, drove it into the ground. Somebody's really rehabbing it now.

The Swifty in Kokomo is now a CountryMark.
Bought gas at Murphy USA in Lafayette today for $2.81

Marathon does not own any gas stations. They are all privately owned by individuals or organizations. Speedway is a sister company of Marathon. Speedway just bought up all the Hess stations up and down the east coast. Speedway is now the second largest C-Store chain in the US. As for gas prices being cheaper in other states, you have to remember that they don't have the state fuel taxes like we do in indiana.

I have always wondered with our state fuel tax so high why so many of the roads suck

 

[g+16]

Of course that all depends how much the federal government allows us to have back

The money is in the budget to fix the Marion county roads but the Rep./Dems. are pi$$ fighting over it. They all suck large amounts of Butt.

Remember "price wars", when gas stations were competing to see how low they could set the prices? Now it seems to be in reverse. If one station raises their price, all the other stations raise theirs too.

I was thinking Speedway, Bonded, and United.

Speedway bought out Gas America two years ago. Speedway is now the second largest c-store chain in the US.
