I fill up at Quiktrip (Tier-1), which I suppose is more of a Central Plains brand (also located in Georgia and Arizona). AFAIK, it's sourced and refined in Oklahoma and Texas, so transport costs are less than the competition.

Just this week, 87-Regular was $1.29 at my local pump. It's competitively priced, but the price point is something that I'll likely never understand (or learn the truth with any brand -- separate thread).

We have a distribution center nearby for the convenience store items, which employs several employees. If I have to buy fuel, it seems to be the one that benefits my region the most, and offers a good blend of additives in the fuel.
