It's nice in today's economic environment where we will drive 5 miles to save 4 cents/gallon for fuel to occasionally land a great deal. Yesterday I fuelled up at the local Get-Go.

30 gallons
$0.199/gal
$5.97 total

The receipt is in my album, but it isn't very clear. The Get-Go promotion has proven to be very profitable for me.

Anyone else know about good deals or promotions in your area?

 

You suck. Doubt we'll ever see that in Cali unless they screw up on setting the price.

 

What state are you in? I haven't seen that price since I was pumping gas in high school!

 

It's a promotion that a local grocery chain runs. It's $.10/gal off for every $50 spent in the store. They sell gift cards for restaurants, home improvement stores, airlines, etc. which add to the total. Every time I fly, remodel or eat out I earn discounts. I love it! I seldom pay full price for fuel. This trip I cashed in on flying my daughter home from Seattle.

BTW I am in western PA. The store is Giant Eagle.

 

I have a friend/coworker who paid for a major remodel using gift cards. He didn't pay a cent for gas for 2 months.

 

I have seen incentives for fuel purchase from grocery stores, where after so much in the way of grocery purchase, you get .10 cents a gallon discount.. But never anything like that!

 

And they must be making money on it somehow, because they keep expanding on the promotion. It's been in place for a couple years. Now you get discounts on groceries when you buy fuel too. I think this is a brilliant promotion. I'm surprised other companies haven't started doing this.

 

In Oregon, the Safeway grocery chain occasionally offers a 10 cent per gallon discount for ever $75 in purchases. You can't combine them, though, so it's just .10 per gallon off of one fill up, at Safeway gas stations and the fill is limited to $75.

Oh, and only grocery store out here in the middle of nowhere is a Safeway, so I tend to rack up a lot of the discounts. BUT ... The nearest Safeway with a gas station is 200 miles away.

 

we got a price chopper here thats the same way... we never got around to the fuel deal... will have to get a 100 gal tank on a trailer for when I finally do cash in

 

we have one here also that can get as high as .50 off per gallon, but once you use it, it starts over

 

For those of us who occasionally cringe while feeding the beast...




Not something you get to see every day.

 

Unbelievable! Nothing like that incentive program here in Idaho, that I have heard about.

 

No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill. Period. Ends. --Biden

 

ok, so let's talk reality.... #1 the oil industry has 9,000 government leases they have chosen NOT to drill on..... their choice not the government as the permits have long been issued and are good for up to 10 years for site ops to begin. 2nd, on the west coast, specific to Long Beach, 97% of ALL the oil we produce is "exported"... how do I know, ah, 1) I have "worked" in that business and 2) my family has "oil rights" which Exxon/Mobile sends the mother-in-law a check each moth with a report of how much, where it was refined and where it was shipped to....

During the peak of the pandemic 2020.... at that point just in Texas alone 85 oil drilling contractors (that the majors sub-contracted to for site ops) went bankrupt... closed their doors and walked away. Are there industry issues- yes..... did we fail to ensure the protection of the "oil supply chain"- yes, are we still (industry specific) in recovery mode...you bet!
