Walk into either of Stuart’s major gas stations, and you’ll hear a variety of regional dialects reflective of the several different license plates you will see parked at the pumps. It’s no surprise so many people pull off in Stuart; some of the cheapest gas between Des Moines and Omaha is right here. The website gasbuddy.com reports that regular 87 octane cost $2.79 at both the Stuart Casey’s and Kum N Go as of Wednesday. That’s a cent cheaper than the State average, and up to six cents a gallon cheaper than some nearby exits, Adair and Waukee being two examples.
