Hopefully they'll do a better job of ensuring that there aren't any credit card skimmers attached to their pumps.

It is interesting. Seems someone, companies, are playing MONOPOLY with gas stations.
I preferred SHELL they have been converted to Circle K. I've done some reading.

As I understand it regular gasoline all comes from the same pipeline. You cannot if you wanted to say no Russian, no Venezuelan or one gallon Russian to ten gallons domestic
What makes gasoline different is the detergent package added before the fuel is delivered to the station. Top tier group. Actually the company pays a fee to be able to put that on their pump. It is all hidden. You have no way to test. I seem to recall reading somewhere that Circle K is BP fuel. I've also read the fuel at 711 is Citco owned by Venezuela. Perhaps, the only valid information is who owns what-THIS WEEK

7/11 stopped buying gas from Citgo in 2006. Easily verified.

Businesses on Villages properties pay fairly high rent. Clark’s was probably outbid on renewing their contract.
