Shell V-Power has hit 4.02 per gallon. !!!

...It's expected to hit the $5 mark by summer.

We've seen a .12 increase in the last week, and they anticipate another .20 increase by the end of next week. They're blaming it on the fire that BP recently had. What I don't get is when the price of a barrel goes down they say it takes time for it to be reflected at the pumps because the gas currently in their tanks cost more, but when the price of a barrel goes up the increase is reflected at the pump immediately...even though they didn't pay the higher price for that gas. You get a .60 discount with your points? No fair! We only get a .10 discount out here on the coast.

It depends on how much you have spent in groceries. The more groceries the more discount. You will automatically get 10 cents though and also good for Shell around here.

They must have it set up differently out here at Fred Meyer. We do all our grocery shopping there and we far exceed the minimum every month to qualify for the discount, but they only offer .10 per gallon. We can also use the discount at participating Shell stations.

the grocery store i work at is doing a gas promotion, but its limited time only, every $100 you spend you get $0.10 off a gallon up to $1 off. I wish they would do it all the time, would be a great thing IMO....

Sadly the news has said that gas around here is going to hit $5 by May its at $3.50 I think right now maybe higher its been a few days since I fille dup. Its sad that in one week or even between adding a little gas in the tank that it just keeps crawling up.
