Just thought I would ask.  I see that Exxon Mobil is making such big profits that they revamped every single one of their stations in the main part of town (a total of 4) only to keep only 1 of them actually as an Mobil, I guess selling the others, which are now all (or will be) Sunoco's.  At the same time, Runway Express (which uses Exxon Mobil receipt paper at the pump) has just decided to go the same direction as many of the other companies, charging a different price for cash and credit.  When you drive by on Altamont Ave, the 2 top prices are both for Regular, one cash, one credit, 3 cents difference, the same way the Mobil across the streets sells it.  It still has the lowest (cash) price around.  If Exxon Mobil is making all this money and paying no taxes, then why can't / won't they keep all their stations in town open?

Personally, I have been looking into different information, finding out that Sunoco is actually American gas, not Middle Eastern or Canadian.  They also generally have the lower prices around, except for maybe Cumbys.

As always, you can check the constant updates of gas prices @ http://www.albanygasprices.com

Personally, I have been looking into different information, finding out that Sunoco is actually American gas, not Middle Eastern or Canadian.  


I believe that may not be entirely true, as they used to buy from other sources, too, but not sure if they still do:
"Sunoco's refineries are configured to process light, or "sweet" crude, which contains less sulfur. And although Saudi Arabia sells a light crude, most of its stock is heavy, or "sour."

Sunoco couldn't use it if it wanted to, so it buys much of its oil from U.S. producers and overseas suppliers such as Nigeria and Angola, which produce a pricier low-sulfur crude.

"We have overseas suppliers in West Africa, but we do not purchase at all from Saudi Arabia," said Sunoco spokesman Gerald Davis in an interview with WorldNetDaily."
