SIGNING THE PETITION IS FREE.
We, the undersigned, urge Walmart to expand its Hobbs Walmart Supercenter to feature an on-site gas station.
While we strongly encourage Walmart to be the operator of the fuel station, we would welcome Murphy USA.
For years, Hobbs-area consumers have paid prices 10 to 75 cents higher than many cities in the region and throughout New Mexico. A major difference between Hobbs and those cities is that Hobbs does not have a Walmart gas station, which has a fuel-supply chain different from other gas stations.
We believe in private-sector solutions, and we believe competition is healthy. A Walmart-operated fuel station in Hobbs, along with its fuel supply, like those in neighboring Artesia, Roswell, Odessa and Lubbock, will provide relief for many working families and will actually promote local commerce and community goodwill.

Seeing one hundred people sign this shows I am not the only one tired of paying extra at the pump every single week. This is a great start for our community and I appreciate everyone who took the time to help put this on the map.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am far from the only person in town tired of overpaying at the pump. It feels incredible to see so many neighbors finally pushing back against these unfair prices together.

i save so much money using walmart gas when i travel. would be a huge help for my family budget if we had one here.
The price gouging in hobbs has go to stop. Its ridiculous how much more we pay compared to carlsbad or artesia.
About time someone did something about these prices. Its robbery at the pump.
Living in hobbs is getting way to expensive. Gas prices here are always higher than anywhere else in the state. Need some actual competition in this town.
Every time I drive to lubbock I see how much cheaper it is and get so mad. Please bring this to hobbs soon.
