Fueling Stations In comparing the per gallon data collected for the four fueling stations located within Mounds View, The Station typically had lower prices, by a few cents per gallon, than the other stations located on County Road 10. Holiday, on the other hand, has conveniences such as a car wash, which the City utilizes. Based on this, Staff recommends utilizing the existing accounts at both The Station and Holiday. The City could seek opening accounts with Super America and BP; however there probably isn’t any significant advantages in doing so. Ramsey County There is a slight savings in purchasing gasoline from Ramsey County. However, this purchase cost savings is completely eliminated and perhaps becomes an overall cost increase when you factor in the loss of productivity due to travel time. It is also not a practical solution with various pieces of equipment such as mowers.
