Shoppers at the Giant Food Store can qualify for gas discounts, no small issue in a time of rising gas prices.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Giant gas station will feature six double-sided pumps and will sell three grades of gas.\u00a0 There are no plans to allow large trucks to fuel at the station, but Eck commented that Giant is considering selling diesel gas for smaller vehicles. Eck expressed eagerness for the project\u2019s completion and felt that the completion of the gas station would be of great benefit to the township.
