Sheetz Offering $1.99 Per Gallon Gas For Thanksgiving Holiday

SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA — Sheetz is lowering the price of unleaded 88 gas to $1.99 per gallon for the next week, the convenience store chain announced Monday.

The price is only available at the 368 Sheetz stores that offer unleaded 88. Sheetz operates 642 stores in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland.

Only vehicles from 2001 and newer can use the blend.

“We hope this price reduction provides much-needed relief at the pump for our customers as they travel for the Thanksgiving holiday,” Sheetz president and CEO aid Travis Sheetz, said in a statement.

The discount runs through Nov. 28.

According to information provided by Sheetz:

• Unleaded 88 has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in all 2001 and newer cars, trucks and SUVs.
• The only difference in the makeup of Unleaded 88 and 87 is their percentage of ethanol. Unleaded 88 contains 5 percent more ethanol than Unleaded 87.
• Unleaded 88 burns cleaner and reduces toxins, making it more environmentally friendly.
• Unleaded 88 is better for a customer’s engine. It provides a higher-octane level than regular 87 fuel that helps boost horsepower and efficiency in a vehicle.
