Drivers in Jackson are paying significantly more at one Wawa location compared to competing stations just minutes away.
Jackson, NJ – A noticeable spike in gas prices at a Wawa on North County Line Road is drawing attention from local drivers, with regular fuel listed at $4.19—well above several competing stations across Jackson.
A comparison of nearby stations shows a clear gap. Locations including Lukoil and United Fuels on West County Line Road, BP on Bennetts Mills Road, and 19 Express on Whitesville Road are all known locally for lower-priced fuel, with some consistently among the cheapest options in town.
Even other convenience chains appear to undercut the Wawa price. QuickChek locations on South New Prospect Road and Leesville Road, along with a Sunoco on Monmouth Road, are typically priced closer to market averages, according to customer reports and recent listings.
Price gap raises questions among drivers
The $4.19 price at the North County Line Road Wawa stands out not only for its size, but for how isolated it appears compared to surrounding stations. Other Wawa locations in Jackson, including sites on Cedar Swamp Road and East Veterans Highway, have not consistently matched that price point.

Key Points
- Wawa on North County Line Road listed gas at $4.19, among highest in Jackson
- Nearby stations including Lukoil, BP, and 19 Express typically offer lower prices
- Price differences highlight impact of location, brand, and traffic demand
Location and demand may drive higher pricing
The North County Line Road corridor is one of Jackson’s busiest areas, with steady commuter traffic and proximity to major routes. Stations in high-traffic zones often price fuel higher, relying on convenience and volume rather than competing solely on cost.
Independent stations and smaller chains, by contrast, tend to adjust prices more aggressively to attract local drivers willing to shop around.
Amenities can also play a role. Wawa locations emphasize convenience stores, food service, and quick access, factors that can offset the need to offer the lowest fuel prices in a given area.
