cabwy, yes i use WaWa gas pretty regular. when I first brought Nug home, I only went to certain gas stations, and found a big jump in miles just back and forth to work. My test was pretty consistant. I found I got the best milage with WaWa.
My husband says they buy their gas from the same places the "name brands" do -who ever has the best prices.
So I'm ok with WaWa gas.

Just saying hello- I'm from south-eastern Montgomery County- and belong to PhillyMini.org too- which I can't say enough good things about- I think any event or rally is a good first one- It's just a very relaxed, nice group of people!

PS- I too use Wawa gas- not a regular basis, but have never had any problems or decrease in milage when I have.

I'm sure we've met! I've done the following rallies so far this year: Spring Cooper-cup, PhillyMini Meet, Lanco-Polo Rally, Corn Maze, Sex In the City Girls Only Rally, and Deck the Mini's- I am looking forward to the spring and some good runs- we're really lucky to have PhillyMini around, and that this area has soooo many great driving roads in Chester, Lancaster & Buck's counties!

Sisters,,,sisters,,,there were never such devoted sisters...... White Christmas
This post does remind me to sign up now and pay my dues for Philly Mini,, I was waiting til I actually got my Clubman...
Kudos to the OP of this thread, it is neat to get to know people in the area.

I am a member of Philly Mini and have only done the Mini in the Mountains and had a great time, meet with a few friends from NJ and we drove up together in a group. Like everyone has said a great group of people and a lot of fun on the run, I plan on renewing my membership as soon as they post it. As for the Wawa gas I think as long as you use the premium gas there is not much if any change that I have noticed.

I will definitely wave when I see fellow Coopers, so if you see a little bald guy waving from a dark blue Scion tC, don't be alarmed, it's just me

And once I get my MINI, I'd love to join the local MINI group - keep me posted on upcoming events and such...

Thanks again!
LOL,, somehow I missed this post earlier,,,, great, now I will be stalking all Scions tC's and waving at little bald guys,,,, you will vouch for me if I get in trouble,,,yes?? What color Scion?? just in case........

**oops, just re read your post, you have a navy scion***

Did you decorate your MINI? Just trying to figure out who you are! I didn't decorate my MINI to compete, but did have antlers and a red nose. I was parked in the upper lot, SS convertible!

I'll see you for the PVGP! Took a long weekend off for that one. The great part about being in PA is that we can get to a lot of events from the three clubs.

Good question!

MOTD: We've got a group coming down from PittStopMini... also look for Dragon Draggin' on the MOTD registration website... pine car MINI racing! Maybe we can meet on the way down? We'll be posting times and routes as we get closer.
