So what's the price of gas that way? Here our gas varies by. 20 cents + a gallon from one end of town to the other

I'd say that for anybody with a large capacity gas tank (truck or RV for instance) who is coming down the Foley Beach Express anyway, they should definitely stop at Buc-ees to fill up. There are over a hundred gas pumps and the price for regular gas when we visited was $1.88. The Buc-ees store is huge and pricey - clearly where they make up for the low prices at the pump. But it's clean and well organized and overall an interesting experience.

I've passed by there twice since it opened and both times it was so crowded that I just scurried on by in my gas-sipping Jeep Renegade.

We stopped there just after they opened and before it was so busy. Inside it is bright and big and has a lot of "things" to buy but they are pricey. I saw a lot of sandwiches and other items and asked where to eat and was told no seating provided so they are a grab and gas and go place that promotes high "through put". I now have a nice place to grab and gas for my hunting places. A downside to traffic-traffic at that spot now. When coming from the East one day a confused out of state vehicle turned left in front of me going South in the North lanes, CAUTION is advised in that area while driving!!!!!
