“Swanson Fuel is excellent. If you’re in Monroe, Oxford, or the surrounding towns, I highly recommend them. We use their automatic delivery service, and they’ve never taken advantage of us like some other home heating oil suppliers do. They’re always reliable, show up on time, and actually answer the phone when you call. Recently, we called at 9 a.m. ahead of a cold front and asked to be added for a quick top-off. By 5 p.m. the same day, they were here and had it done. Outstanding service.”

“South of town locale on Monroe turnpike (state route 111,the main North/South route through the center of town. This is on the border with the town of Trumbull so it gets a little busy at peak hours. They have a nice coffee shop with a drive through and a convenience store.”

“Nice station but every time I come over the past few months there is many signs asking for 5's and 1's... Seems they don't manage cash well or have very limited cash on hand. Make sure to bring card or small bills if patronizing.”

“They consistently have the cheapest gas in town and are usually not busy, unlike the Sunoco and Mobil down the road. They can get crowded from time to time, and the parking lot situation kinda sucks, but beyond that they're pretty good. My only peeve is that people always pull up in front of the doors instead of parking in a spot and it blocks you from getting around the pump to leave, but as long as you go when it isn't busy you're all good”

“Stopped here for gas with No problems. Paid inside because i never use the pumps with my card. It was a quick seemless transaction. Looks to have a nice convenience store with all the usual foods, snacks, drinks and car essentials one might look for in a gas station convenience store. Easy on and off rte25. Can get bank in via Judd street safely rather than trying to cut across. The place is well lit, plenty of pain, wheelchair accessible parking and entrance.”

“I’ve noticed some mixed reviews here, and maybe others have had different experiences, but I can honestly say that over the past 8 years, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences at this gas station. The team is always friendly, respectful, and working as quickly as possible — especially considering this is a full-service station. There are times when they’re incredibly busy, sometimes going hours without a break, yet they still maintain a great attitude and provide solid service. Doug, in particular, has always been kind and professional with me. He consistently goes above and beyond, and it really shows that he cares about the customers. I truly appreciate the hard work the entire team puts in every day. Keep up the great work — it doesn’t go unnoticed!”

“I was served by a young woman wearing black lipstick and a rocker-style outfit. She was very friendly, provided excellent service, and her smile and energy were very contagious. I definitely love going when she was serving.”

"These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
