I'm a fan of buying gas at low prices. My dad used to save a penny when gas was $0.28 per gallon. While that isn't much, it was about 3.5% savings.
I used to shop for the lowest gas price since there an numerous gas retailers in the area and have decided to buy from two, despite many options from major companies. First, it was Costco gas, which requires membership, but we have one. Then it was Kroger gas with up to $1 off based on fuel points earned from shopping, and we regularly shop at Kroger. Both of these gas providers are convenient since they are within a 2.5 miles from our house and on the way to many destinations.
Recently, there has been a new entrant in our area, Wawa. I've noticed they regularly sell gas comparable to Costco, but no lines and are comparable to Kroger with discounts of $0.40 to $0.60 per gallon when using fuel points. In addition, Wawa offers no ethanol gas which my spouse prefers. Recently, Wawa regular gas with ethanol was $2.43/gallon. Kroger was $2.90/gallon and Costco was $2.30/gallon in today's price check.
Wawa is becoming my go to gas retailer when away from home for the following a few reasons: multiple convenient locations, no gimmicks to lower the price, and no ethanol gasoline, which no other local retailer offers.
