REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
TO THE RETIREMENT PLAN COMMITTEE
CROWN CENTRAL EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits of the Crown Central Employees
Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Crown Central Employees
Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes
in its net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the financial statements taken as a whole. The
accompanying supplemental schedules of assets held for
investment purposes as of December 31, 1998, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements
taken as a whole.

CROWN CENTRAL EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases
and decreases in net assets during the period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENTS
Investments in Crown Central Petroleum Corporation Class A
and Class B Common Stock are reported at fair value, based
on published market prices. U.S. Savings Bonds and T. Rowe
Price Funds are reported at current redemption value.
Participant loans represent the outstanding principal
balances of the loans, which approximate fair value.
The change in the difference between the fair value and cost
of investments held during the year and the difference
between the proceeds received and the cost of investments
sold is reflected as net realized and unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) in aggregate fair value of
investments in the statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits.
BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Benefits are recorded when paid.
2. PLAN DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The Crown Central Employees Savings Plan (the "Plan") was
adopted on January 1, 1955 by Crown Central Petroleum
Corporation (the "Corporation"). The participating companies
("participating companies") in the Plan are Crown Central
Petroleum Corporation, La Gloria Oil & Gas Company, McMurrey
Pipeline Company, Crown Central Pipe Line Company and Crown-
Rancho Pipe Line Corporation; including service station and
convenience store employees. The purpose of the Plan is to
encourage employees to save regularly and to provide
additional funds upon retirement. An employee is eligible
to participate in the Plan upon attaining 21 years of age
and having completed one year of service with at least 1,000
hours worked.
CROWN CENTRAL EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
CONTRIBUTIONS
Employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deduction,
up to a maximum of 12% of their base pay. The Corporation's
contribution for all participating companies is equal to 50%
of the employees' contributions up to a maximum of 8% (prior
to 1998, this limit was 7% during the first five years of
service. This provision was amended in the Plan year 1998 to
establish a maximum of 8% for all participants) of their
base pay. Contributions to the Plan are invested in the
available investment options in accordance with the
participants' election. A terminating member of the Plan is
paid the current value of their contributions to the Plan
reduced by any outstanding loan balances, but unless the
member is fully vested, as defined, they must forfeit the
current value of the employer's contribution to their
account. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, such
forfeitures are applied to reduce future contributions
required of the employer.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
At December 31, 1998, the available investment options
offered were Crown Class B Common Stock, T. Rowe Price U.S.
Treasury Money Fund, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, T.
Rowe Price Spectrum Growth Fund, T. Rowe Price Spectrum
Income Fund, T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund, T. Rowe
Price Stable Value Fund, T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund,
and T. Rowe Price Mid Cap Growth Fund. Investments
previously made in Crown Class A Common Stock, U.S. Savings
Bonds, and the T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Intermediate Fund
will remain in these funds until liquidated at the
participant's discretion. No further contributions are
permitted in these investment options.
PARTICIPANT LOANS
Participants have the option to borrow from the vested
portion of their account. The maximum loan permitted is the
lesser of (1) $50,000 or (2) 50% of the nonforfeitable value
of the account determined on the most recent valuation
available to the Administrator prior to the date of the
loan, as adjusted for distributions or contributions. The
minimum loan permitted is $1,000. The term of each loan
shall be for a minimum of one year and a maximum of five
years and shall bear interest equal to the prime rate on the
last day of the prior month in which the loan request is
signed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
PLAN TERMINATION
The participating companies have the right to terminate the
Plan at any time. In the event of termination of the Plan,
the individual participants, beneficiaries or legal
representatives of deceased participants are to be paid, at
their option, the balance in their accounts including non-
vested employer contributions, reduced by any outstanding
loan balances, in cash or in kind.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
administration of the Plan are paid by the participating
companies.
Information about the Plan Agreement is contained in the
pamphlets SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION AND PROSPECTUS AND
DESCRIPTION OF AVAILABLE INVESTMENTS. Copies of these
pamphlets are available from the Corporation's Human
Resources Department.
3. EMPLOYEE AND COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS
Employee and Corporation contributions made to the Plan for
the years ended December 31 were as follows:
1998 1997
---------- ----------
Employee $2,994,575 $2,889,925
Corporation 1,230,074 1,180,848
---------- ----------
$4,224,649 $4,070,773
========== ==========
4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Plan has received a determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service dated May 5, 1997, stating that the
Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust
is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is
required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain
its qualification. The Retirement Plan Committee believes
the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the
Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
CROWN CENTRAL EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
5. RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500
Total investment income, as reported on lines 32 b (1)
through (10) of Form 5500, is reported as net investment
income and net realized and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) in aggregate fair value of investments on the
financial statements.
6. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Any of the computer programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00"
rather than the year 2000. This could result in system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions or engage in similar,
normal business activities.
The Corporation has essentially completed an assessment of
its business software and equipment from a year 2000
compliance standpoint. The Corporation is in the process of
completing the modification or replacement of its materially
important business software and equipment that are not year
2000 compliant so that its computer systems will function
properly with respect to dates in the year 2000. The Plan's
service providers have indicated that they are presently
taking steps to ensure that their systems and operations
that impact Plan information will be Year 2000 compliant.
