Ever since the Wawa opened up near the Hess headquarters in Woodbridge, they keep leap-frogging each other's price lower on Rt 9. I hope Wawa doesn't go out of business because I am loving the prices that are almost lowest in the state.

There is no war between these 3 places, and the Wawa hasn't taken any business away from Hess. Because of the proximity to the Outerbridge, the Wawa and the Hess on West Pond Road get the flow of traffic from NY that fill up at the first gas stations they see, that's who supports the Wawa, not the locals. The Wawa's 3.31 is about 60 cents less than they pay in Staten Island. There is NO price war.

jrferrari All-Star Author Orlando Posts:652 Points:172,590 Joined:Jan 2011	Message Posted: Nov 27, 2012 9:50:42 AM Ignore jrferrari Report Abuse I used to live in NJ and know where the Hess HQ is and have gone to many a Wawa store, but they didn't pump gas at that time. Wawa is now coming to Florida. It will be interesting to see if displace some of the other gas stations/convenience stores.
DerTaubman Champion Author Detroit Posts:7,454 Points:1,557,720 Joined:Jun 2007	Message Posted: Nov 27, 2012 9:42:43 AM Ignore DerTaubman Report Abuse We have several brands of gas available in Detroit, and our prices are higher than the national average. Instead of competing with each other, they actually seem to be setting prices together.

Gas_Buddy Champion Author Maryland Posts:26,197 Points:3,061,500 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Nov 26, 2012 8:44:17 PM Ignore Gas_Buddy Report Abuse Sorry, but as you're telling this to Gas Buddy members across the United States and Canada, rather than in your local New Jersey discussion category, is this something I should be taking advantage of? I have no idea where Woodbridge is. Is it in New Jersey, or adjacent Pennsylvania, Delaware, or New York? Maybe you can let us now where the Hess headquarters is. I don't know where that is either. Why would you think that Wawa, a company that's been in business a long time, would go out of business? Are you saying you know something about their financial situation I (for one) haven't heard about? I just checked the internet but I can't find anything that indicates that Wawa may be going out of business because of this price war. But thanks for the head's up and I'm sure that others will appreciate knowing about this price war, maybe plan on making a trip to get gas after you tell us where we have to go.
