at Citgo (7-11), but when I travel, I just don't know. I noticed that Arco has somewhat lower prices than the rest.

Who are "the good guys" of petrol and who are the baddest guys?

1. Sheetz has a good reputation in Pennsylvania

It is strictly a retailer, but from the workers who have been in my office, the pay is well (For retail). They provide Medical benefits (Which is rare for Retail). They are open 24 hours 365 days a week, but on Holidays they have all of their workers work four hours, thus none of their workers have to work MORE than four hours on a holiday. For retain it is considered one of the best in the Country.

Sheetz has a Web Site (No I do NOT work for Sheetz, but I buy my Gasoline At Sheetz and generally Breakfast and Lunch).

They are in North Eastern Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina but concentrated in the Rural areas (No stores in the Philadelphia area for example).

2. Royal Dutch Shell.
When they're not killing Nigerians, they pay Amory Lovins big bucks for Greenwashing.
