I went to Murphy's this morning and it took a while to work through the lines. They really need to have all the cars going the same direction to keep them from trying to reach the same pump from opposite directions. Other than the lines, though, it was fine. I did notice the station accross the road had gas for fourteen cents a gallon more. They didn't have any lines, though.

Murphy uses Coastal to deliver their gas. Beautifully colored trucks. The other guys are ugly.

Welcome Murphy's and let the gas war continue. Thomas and New have had a monoply one decade too long on gas prices around here. It has always bugged me how Speedy Stop is cheaper in Port Lavaca, especially when the gas is being shipped from Victoria which is an extra cost!

murphy please come to yoakum!!! heb helped when they moved in but seem to be following the old guys lately, always higher here

Murphy Oil is an international company, that is USA owned. They are a producer, refiner and retail supplier of oil and gas. They are lower in cost because they cut out all the middle-men. The American Free Enterprise at its best and purest form. The "other" providers offered locally buy the fuel from Chevron or Conoco - they do not own all the way to the well-head, therefore your cost at the pump is paying middle-men along the way. Thank you Murphy Oil for finally finding Victoria and blessing us with your presence!!!!!

4real- you bet now days money is hard earned. With that in mind, you better believe that if most people can save $.20 a gallon on gas, they are going to, regardless of who it goes to. Instead of criticizing people for where they buy, you should be mad at the locally owned suppliers who are gouging the residents of Victoria.

Its not a gas war Mr. New and Mr. Thomas have been making a lot extra on each gallon of gas they have been selling for at least the last 15 years. At the current rate of a barrel of oil and what gas is selling for on the stock market gas should be about $2.20 a gallon. They all say they are not making money but I have yet to see any gas stations stop selling gas because they are losing money or close due to no business.

Why is it that the same company can sell gas 10 - 15 cents a gallon cheaper in Port Lavaca than they can in Victoria or Port Oconnor? Also, ever notice, all the stations in Victoria seem to go up on prices at the same time.

It's about time the monoploy on Victoria fuel prices was broken. It is ridculous that places like Wharton and Beevile have lower gasoling prices than Victoria for the past years. I predicted to the wife that Murphy coming to town would drop our prices by at least a dime.

Who are the members of that monopoly? Check out ownership of the area "stop and rob" stores, and check out the name on the tanker trucks making deliveries to the majority of Victoria fuel stops.

We've been getting hosed for decades by a local "model" citizens business folk.

Murphy's isn't that the same company that has pumps in front of Sam's & WalMart? This isn't a legit gas war, this is a ploy to get consumers to send their money out of town via the WalMart Express. Go ahead spend your hard earned dollars on money that leaves Victoria.
Pilot - You blame the Arab sheiks for our prices? What about your congress reps? I believe they are the ones that won't/don't allow the exploration in the gulf. BTW - Brazil has gas that cheap right now, you can move over there.

don't forget the huge amount our government makes on every gallon of gas sold. this causes the price of everything else to go up because of shipping costs being higher. don't just blame the oil companies and their greed for high prices.

please tell us about the dinosaurs next

Shiner is the same way..Always .30-.35 higher. Are all 4 places here in a pact to stay the same price? Buy gas and groceries in Victoria. Saves us smalltown folks a bundle!!

Not in Yoakum, it's about .30 cents higher. Worth a trip to Victoria
