Summary
Late June saw Freedom Fuel stations appear almost overnight around Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore, offering discounted gasoline just before the July 4 holiday.
Trump promoted the network, while industry analysts questioned how the stations could sustain such low prices and called the business model an economic mystery.
