Gloucester Gas Prices

The Cape Ann Gas Price Website Is No Longer.  I found a new one from automotive.com that has a limited amount of participating gas stations with current Gloucester Gas Prices

So the link in the blogroll to the right has this link for your reference once this post heads down off the page over time.

Gloucester Gas Prices

I jotted down some of the gas prices at local stations this morning 2/19/09 at 5:00AM

Here you go-

US Petroleum 2.099,2.199,2.299

Tally’s Washington Sq 1.999,2.159,2.299

Flanagan Square Service Station 1.959,2.099,2.159

Hess Self Serve 1.979,2.079,2.099

East Gloucester Richdale 1.999, 2.099,2.199

Interesting that the cheapest gas in town is also full serve at Flanagan Square.  Why anyone would pump their own gas and pay more to do it is beyond me.

If any of our readers drive through other parts of town and would like to update the gas station prices, feel free to do so in the comments under this post.

Joe Grillo’s Net Profit

Joe Grillo bought the Net Profit.  His old boat The Wanderer was old, tired and slow as molasses.  To say that Joe is happy about the upgrade would be an understatement.  Video at 8:00AM
