    Aria Wholesale Gas down the hill is the company screwing all of us. Their guns are being held to local heads everyday. LTN should check out why a barrel of oil has dropped 20% yet our gas prices have dropped zilch since summer ended. The rest of the country has enjoyed price declines of over .50 per gallon. Aria is the culprit and locals should find a way to let it be known we’re tired of being screwed over. Can anyone locate their phone number? I have been unable to find it to complain. SLT has been making change happen and it can happen again here if we put in a call to these crooks.

    3 registered sex offenders in that area. Seems registered sex offenders go hand in hand with reported criminal offenses. Not sure why that is.

    Can’t always get what you want!

    Fill up while you are in the valley,the trip and saving well worth the short drive,plus they got just about anything you need ,you don’t have to wait a day for them to ship here.

    The Oil gouge goes on in this town like all the other gouges going on,no one does anything to change the climate of business here.If it cost 100 bucks here you most likley can get it for 65 in the valley area.

    Plus they have good customer service.

    Are you sure these were men? The white jacket looks a bit feminine.
