Decoding a Bank Transaction Name

Hey guys, I have been using Mint.com for a while but every so often there's a reported transaction that neither the bank nor Mint can categorize. Here's an example:

CHECKCARD 1002 GRAPEVINE MILL00808782 GRAPEVINE TX 24164070276814252744699 on 10/04/10

It's for $32 and I'm pretty sure it's a gas station on my way to work. The problem is, I can't be sure... How can I go about deducing what this all means?

    Yup, gas station. I googled MILL00808782 and that's what turned up. In general, gas stations that have trucker stops charge like that. I got one on my way to NYC that I couldn't figure out because it looked like that.

    Hmm.. unless gas prices went down over the last 12 hours, it's about a week and a half out of date for my area.

    Supposedly oil prices plummeted yesterday. So, maybe?

    I'd like to believe it, but GasBuddy disagrees. Maybe it's fleet prices with their card?

    GlobalFleet says $4.26, GasBuddy says $4.39 for the station next to me, which I think is still lower than yesterday.
