Thank you for this holiday gift Brandon. I think I saved $12 on this tank of gas compared to 2 weeks ago. Now I can use those savings to get a family size box of cereal, a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread to survive the week on.

Expensive gas at Bucees and people won’t stop. Cheaper gas is the draw. They will make the difference on the instore purchases

They charge $4.50 for their brand of gummy candy. That's an incredible mark up. I only get a large icee for .99 cents when I go inside. I've tried all their sandwiches and they suck. I would only eat them now if I wasn't planning on stopping at a fast food place on a long drive.

That’s the locals difference. If your from anywhere that doesn’t have a Buccees and you see on while traveling. Your stopping and shoppin! The “South of the Border” hook. Sorry not to get of topic on the gas report..

You sure about that? I guess you could swing it with Walmart brands and white bread...

Every time I have ever stopped at a Buccees it is the opposite. They are consistently .20+ more than the gas stations around it. Their draw is the food on the inside. They may have changed their strategy on this but it has to have been extremely recent. I drove across the southeast a month ago and stopped at 3 different Buccees. Gas was considerably more expensive than the surrounding gas stations. The one in Terrell, TX was 40 cents more than a citgo a mile up the road

Locals difference once again. If your from a $5+ state your pulling in for the gas price & experience. Blinders on other stations

I don't get the Bucee's phenomenon. Yes, it is a nice gas station, but I would not go out of my way to stop there. People will literally divert an extra 30 minutes and spend an hour there.
