Most price drops are 3 or 4 cents a gallon, but one time it was 10 cents a gallon - which made it the price lower than any price in my city!

Getgo, a grocery store related discount program, let me help a friend fill up for 30 cents off every gallon. I only use BP and cash.

We have several Shell stations that aren't lowest, but are on the low end of prices. So if on GB I see a Shell station nearby that's fairly low, I'll pull in and check how much the price drop is. The drop occurs before you pump, so you can decide if the drop is worth it to continue.

signaloilco Sophomore Author Virginia Posts:153 Points:523,275 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Jan 4, 2013 11:33:11 AM Ignore signaloilco Report Abuse I don't use the Shell fuel rewards ~ looks like you need to buy merchandise at participating retailers - none of which I would regularly frequent. I do however regularly save $.10 or $.20 and on occasion as high as $.40/gallon using my Giant (grocery store) rewards card ~ you get $.10/gall off for every $100 spent on groceries. A win-win since Giant is our closest store and low-priced...and Shell is one of the lower-price gas stations in our area - always lower when we get $.10/gallon discount.

brerrabbitTX Champion Author Houston Posts:1,024 Points:18,165 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Jan 3, 2013 9:50:21 PM Ignore brerrabbitTX Report Abuse On the Fuel Rewards web site there are people who have supposedly filled up for a penney a gallon. They must have boughta lot online and ate at a lot of the participating resturants.
