Wareham/Bourne Gas Prices

05/04/08 · 3:48 pm :: posted by Monponsett Link to Post Email to a Friend

We took the Monponsett AR-175 Armored Personnel Carrier out today, and we scoped the local gas prices. Other newspapers talk about high gas prices, but Cape Cod Today goes out into the field and finds out where you can save 10 cents a gallon.

Keep in mind... these prices we list are Gateway prices, from the mainland side of the Bourne Bridge. Cross over to Cape Proper, and these prices may be 20 cents higher. As a rule, it''s generally a good idea to fuel up before you cross the bridges.

Anywho... here's the prices from a few stations on the Cranberry highway... all are Full Serve:

- Lukoil, Wareham... our best buy today at $3.55 a gallon.... $4.35 diesel

- MaxiGas, Wareham side of the town line.... $3.57 a gallon

- Gulf, Bourne side of town line... a wallet-whacking $3.65 a gallon... $4.37 diesel

- Cape Cod Gas, Wareham is bringing the pain at $3.57 a gallon.

- Cape Cod Gas in Bourne kicks it up a notch to $3.59 a gallon.

Special Cashback Offer To Anyone With A Shotgun At Santuit Oil In Sagamore!!

$2.39/gallon to all unarmed patrons.

Prices posted in the last 48 hours of when I wrote this:

$2.03 Prime Energy, North Andover

$2.12,Walt's Gas, Taunton

$2.14 Getty, Taunton

$2.17, Super Petroleum, Weymouth

$2.33, Hess Express, Hyannis

$2.37, Exxon, Hyannis

$2.39, Gulf, Hyannis

$2.33, Mobil, Falmouth

$2.39, Getty, Falmouth

$2.39, Mobil, Sagamore

$2.37, Mobil, Sandwich

The most expensive gasoline was sold in two distinct suburban Yuppieopoli... the run of 3A from Duxbury to Hingham, and a sort of triangle between Hamilton/Wenham and Lexington/Concord. $2.45-$2.54 was the range on these ones.

The lack of Cape stations in this upper tier is eye-catching... once the tourists leave, the Cape stations can't continue to pump-rape the locals. The last time I did this column (late August, I think), 13 of the 15 most expensive stations in Massachusetts were on Cape Cod. Now, there isn't a Cape station in the top 30 most expensive.

Gas Prices Over The Last Two Years:

We're only getting about 175% screwed at the pumps now

Cape Cod is finally below the national average price for gas
The average nationwide today is $2.33 , see NY Times today

The average price in Massachusetts is $2.30 as of the very last hours of September.

We got a call from Jim Twite of Brewster this morning that the Cumberland Farms near Route 28 and Bank Street, AND the Harwich Gas at 435 Route 28, Harwichport next to the 400 Club, are both selling regular for $2.29.

The price is $2.32 on Rte 6 in Wareham, at both Lukoil and with the hippies... who now have a bedsheet hanging up in their office with "There Goes The Neighborhood " written on it. I love those people.

7-11 in Wareham, $2.32.... same with Exxon at the Buzzards Bay rotary.... ya know, the rotary that used to have the tugboat.

$2.51 at the Citgo near the Christmas Tree Shop in Sagamore.... $2.65 at the Citgo on 28 South in Bourne.... $2.64 at the Citgo on 28A, Bourne/Falmouth line, with $2.89 diesel for all you mothertruckers.

A friend of mine from my Worcester State College tells me that you can make the short trip over the bridge to Littleton for their $2.19 headline grabber.

NOTICE:
Cheap Oil too!

A suggestion below from Cape & Islands Self Reliance is a great idea - please use this blog to also send in the LOWEST HOME HEATING OIL prices as well, or see the C&ISR site.

12 of the 15 highest gas prices are on Cape Cod according to Mass Gass Prices

Hess in Seekonk... $2.12
$2.13, Prime Energy in Brockton
$2.15, Cumby's in Bridgewater

Of the 15 highest priced stations this site listed... 12 are on the Cape, one is in New Beddy, and the Citgos in Bourne I listed would be 4th and 5th on this list if they were accounted for.

Mobil, Rte 132 in Bahhhnstable.. $2.79
Sam's Gas, Rte. 28 in Hyannis... $2.59 (the Uncle Sam thing is appropriate, no?)
Every Citgo in Bourne or Sagamore..... they run from $2.51 to $2.65
Christy's Citgo, or whatever gas he's effing you with, West Yarmouth... $2.59
Sunoco, Rte 28 in Orleans... $2.59... leading the Seige of Orleans.
Cove Road Citgo in Orleans.... $2.59... WHO is the El Diablo??
Chisty's near the airport in Hyannis.. $2.59... may as well spend the extra $10 and fly to Boston.
Station Ave. Mobil in South Yarmouth... $2.59.. although the street is well-named for a gas house location.
Barnstable Road Getty in Hyannis... Getty your purse sucked for $2.59
Rte 28 Exxon in Hyannis.... $2.59
A+ in Hyannis, $2.58... the "A+" was in Economics, I presume.

The guy who owns one of the Citgos told me that "I wish gas were around $1.00 a gallon everywhere... I'd have a greater profit per gallon, by far."

$2.39 a gallon at Cumberland Farms just off--cape

09/26/06 · 1:13 pm :: posted by Jack Coleman Link to Post Email to a Friend

wwarehamcumby300_01 After leaving RT 25 take the first EXIT off 195 heading for New Bedford in Wareham on RT 28 heading NORTH less than a 1/4 miles from the highway for $2.39 gas.

...and the Cumberland Farms on Route 44 in Plymouth has the same price if you're heading for Boston on RT 3.

While in th West Wareham neighborhood, dribe north another mile for very good and very cheap food at Vel's.

This new blog is to help us all find the lowest gas prices on Cape Cod, the Islands and the South Shore.

McFly just reported:
$2.59 today in Harwich Rte 28 next to Dairy Queen.

Before that Monponsetts wrote:
$2.75, CITGO near the Christmas Tree Shop in Sagamore and also reminded us that the "Gas Hippies" on Rte 6 in Wareham were at $2.65 last week, and must be even lower now. $2.65 at the same CITGO station as of 9-17.

Plus the two stations in Harwich Center are now:
Getty - $2.59
Speedway - $2.58

Remember, every new comment is posted on our FRONT PAGE and every other page on this website. The more we report low prices, the sooner other stations will follow!

DemocRant started the whole thing two days ago:
Shell: corner of Boylston and Ipswich near Fenway Park $2.53
Gulf: Bourne Bridge Rotary $2.79

Pat B filled up at $2.43 at the Mobil on Mass. Ave. opp. MIT Sunday.
