$6 Gas; what's your guess?

[TheMercenary]

Prices dropped back down to 3.68 this week, not sure why.

Actually we all (all countries) pay about the same amount of money for the same volume of gas. What is different is the amount that countries tax that gas as it is sold to the consumer, in the later case we pay the least.

Today's coupon was for 40 cents off a gallon at Shell. Not bad. Instead of $4.01, it was $3.61/gallon to fill the tank.

If you have Giant grocery stores where you are, it might be worth a look. With our small car, it only amounts to a savings of $3.50 or so a tank, but hey, free money.

here it's Kroger. you get 10 cents off for every $100 you spend in a month up to 35 gallons. if you spend a grand in a month you get the max of $1.00 off per gallon.

We have that too, but I don't use it. I guess I just love Exxon.

$3.83 this morning.

I'm thinking...well at least it's not $4.15. Which is exactly what they want you to think. I guess I should be all grateful.

$3.76 here today at the Chevron. We can get it 10 cents/gal off if we collect enough points at our local City Market (Kroger).

You all have cheap gas. I guess you don't have that special "city blend" less polluting stuff.

Never thought id be happy to see $3.66 but that's the cash price at the corner store this morning...

We have the Kroger too. I'm on the other side of town so almost any money I might save with my meager single girl purchases would be et up in gas getting to the Kroger.

I did register my Kroger card yesterday and I don't understand the points thing at all. I have none for this month but I must have bought something there last month. April fuel points...11. Does that get me anything?

not quite. 11 won't do anything. you need to aquire at least 100 to get 10 cents off per gallon. i'm not sure if it tiers or not. ie...200 = 20 cents and so forth. i'll look into it. i know that if you spend $1,000you get a buck off per gallon up to 35 gallons. so buy a grand worth of KY jelly and maybe the pump phucking won't hurt so bad!

eta: Kroger Fuel Link click on your town.

Gas continues to decline in price here. I saw $3.61 yesterday at Race Trac.

Yeah, 200 points = 20 cents off per gallon at Kroger. The points disappear after a month so you have to use them coz they don't roll over. I got gas for 3.46/gal today using my .20 cents off/gal via Kroger.

$3.59 today. Still dropping. I like it. Time to buy a new truck.
