Cheap Gas

Gas prices 20 cents a gallon under most

Whoopie! Christy invigorates local gas prices again, Hess follows suit

Above is the new C-Mart station on Route 28 in Hyannis across from Pufferbellies which was opened this month by Christy Mihos after he sold his 12 "Christy's of Cape Cod" mini-marts to Hess.

C-Mart offers 10 cents off its $1.79 a gallon price for cash, 15 cents off for Vets

By Walter Brooks

Christy Mihos' new discount gas station in Hyannis, C-Mart, doesn't have a mini-mart and it doesn't have Whoopie Pies, but it does have gas prices 20 cents a gallon under most other stations on Cape Cod.

C-Mart sells gas as low as $1.64 a gallon for vets and service personnel, but it does not (yet) have Whoopie Pies.

He recently opened and spruced up a station bordering the Barnstable Municipal Airport on Route 28 in Hyannis, and if you are a veteran or a member of the United States Armed Services, you can pay $1.64 a gallon using cash.

Even ordinary folks gets 10 cents a gallon off by paying cash, and the credit card price is still very low, $1.79 for regular.

Hess new design and sign

Christy sold his twelve "Christy's of Cape Cod" stores to Hess earlier this month. Hess Petroleum has also spent a pile to redesign and re-sign all its stations here as well.

The new signs offer the price for regular in a bright, new green and white Hess design, and it's currently $1.87 for regular gas.

The story about the sale elicited many comments, with many bemoaning the apparent loss of Christy's giant $1.79 Whoopie Pies. We deeply regret to inform readers that Hess does NOT offer them but a little Greek bird told us C-Mart soon will..

 Not to be outdone, Hess is also promoting its price for regular gas on each of its signs like this one inSouth Orleans, see above.
