DC300 Yeah, I forgot about the cc rewards, on top of the discounts. I've got 1 right now that is at 5%, for a couple months. But, as I said, I last bought gas in mid July, and still have over 1/4 tank. Gas prices really don't bother me much. But I do cross over to Iowa, and use the discounts. Huge savings, even if it is once every couple months.

    HyVee grocery stores have a great recurring promotion at least every other week it seems. If you purchase at least a set amount of groceries (usually around $60 to $100) you then get 30 cents per gallon off the price at their gas station. Sometimes the set amount is specific to particular products and sometimes the amount you get off the regular price changes but I've gotten up to 85 cents per gallon off the stated price when I filled up. I can remember one time I still had a half tank of gas but filled up the rest of the tank for $3.51 total.

      mulegolf Hyvee is where I go. If you have a Shell rewards card (it's not a cc) it can be linked to your Hyvee rewards card.

          DC300 I know the weather is nice, but I can not fathom living in that mess. Best of luck on your inevitable relocation.

          It is a mess, but it is a beautiful mess. Having lived in two low cost states (Texas and Kansas), California was a shock no doubt. But where I live, we have 350 days per year where the weather is 60-80F and dry. 5 minutes to the beach. 90 minutes to the mountains. CA has warts, big ones, but it also has advantages you don't get anyplace else.

          No plans to relocate, ever. However, I am looking forward to retirement and living off cash reserves for 5-6 years so that I can get every handout imaginable. 😁

            There are no Shell stations in my area. The closest one is about 65 miles from me, but both of the HyVee stores (both about 30 miles away) have gas stations with them.

                mulegolf Dang, you must live in the boonies.
                This Shell station is right across from HyVee, and always cheaper.

                    Paid $3.80 here in Northern VA, saw COSTCO was at $3.59 but the lines are still silly long

                    Also, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and all the other southern state with less expensive gas are full. No room here for you.

                    Costco was $3.42 the other day, about .20¢ cheaper than most stations in that neighboring city, which was about .20¢ cheaper than my local city. It shot up to $3.99 here a day or 2 ago.

                    Par4QC Dang, you must live in the boonies.

                    Boonies it is. I'm about 75-80 miles NE of Sioux Falls, SD, in farm country. There's nothing here but corn, soy beans
                    pigs and cattle. The town I live in has only between 2000-2500 people. What passes for big towns around here are
                    Marshall, MN and Worthington, MN. They both have a population of 13,000+. We're roughly 30 miles from each.
                    The only place of any size at all is Sioux Falls, SD (around 190,000).

                        mulegolf Wow. That could be a sister area to where I come from in IL.
                        2700 pop.,75-80 mi. South of Champaign. 20 mi. to Charleston(EIU), 18,000+/- & Mattoon, 18,000+/-. 30 mi. from Terre Haute, IN. Farms & animals are the norm. And gravel roads.

                          He said gallon, which actually doesn’t sound bad from where I’d think it would be?

                            All these low gas prices are a WIN!!

                                Paid 3.069 the other day. Most places are in the 3-teens and twenties though.

                                It's like trying to hit a moving target around here.....the bastards keep moving the low prices from one part
                                of town to another. Friday, the local station we always drive past was $3.55. On the other side of town, it
                                was $3.19, so I filled up. When I went to Cleveland last week in it was $3.09, but my son said all he'd seen close to his home was $3.40's.
