Sheetz stores celebrated Independence Day by lowering the price of gas in honor of the year the Declaration of Independence was signed. By charging just $1.776 a gallon for nearly all their gasoline blends, the gas station hopes to help customers “keep a little more change in their wallets” as they celebrate the Fourth of July holiday.
The mid-Atlantic gas and convenience chain lowered fuel on regular, E85 (flex fuel), unleaded 88, mid-grade and premium fuel grades. It did not apply to diesel fuel.
The limited-time promotion will only last for the Fourth of July beginning at 12:01 a.m. at more than 675 Sheetz locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
