Business is strong for those who have already joined the PAGasDirectory.com, a website that provides a bounty of information to gas industry employees and their families about the goods and services available through businesses within the community.

Early advertisers on the new web site, PAGasDirectory.com, are seeing more activity from gas companies in the form of phone calls and bid requests.
