Steps to saving on gas.

1. Live in Florida near a Winn Dixie (maybe other southern states, but I'm not sure which ones have booze in grocery stores and allow these types of deals)
2. Get a Winn Dixie discount card
3. Become an alcoholic
4. Buy all your booze at Winn Dixie Liquor Store and pay attention to the gas discounts.
5. Fill up at Shell
6. Get drunk. You'll need to go through a lot of alcohol to accumulate another good discount before your next fill up.

I usually have at least .50 saved up. You get discounts from regular grocery items as well, but for liquor sometimes you'll see up to .50 off per gallon. After some family visited a month ago and we went through a large amount of tequila that was .20 off per gallon I had -1.75 saved up. Cheapest fill in quite some time.

Yesterday without the discount was $3.88 for 93 at Shell.

^^^^^ Try putting the alcohol directly into the gas tank. See if you get bigger savings. If my areas gas goes up to the California $5 range that's coming, Ill consider your plan. A very intelligent plan....

My mother used to fill up her 280Z weekly for less than that TOTAL and complained about it just like all of us are! :bowrofl:

last time I got gas at a station down the street was a week ago and it was $4.02/gal for 91.

yesterday it was $4.07/gal and it jumped up to $4.17/gal this morning.

the owner of this station has a habit of preemptively raising prices at any oil news provocation.

andre12031948 08-10-2012 11:18 AM

I feel so helpless

Gas in California going over $5 in a few days. Sorry guys.

Feels like it's going up every day. High gas/oil price will cause higher food, electric, heating, transporting, etc, etc prices, ..... Its good that someone cares/watches out for the poor & mid-class Americans.:shakes head:

dennis26 08-10-2012 08:28 PM

After I saw your octane I googled California octane ratings. Didn't know 91 was the highest you can get. 93 would be higher price. If a car needed 93, wouldn't performance & gas mileage suffer with 91? I don't get it.

Shell 93 for 3.83?! dude! I'm just going to weep quietly as I put in Shell 91 for 4.33 (Los Angeles). Just out of curiousity, anybody using their ralphs promo for shell? Does it really pay off?

JungleZ 09-05-2012 08:52 PM

socal gas has hit all time highs, this is kind of brutal. Do you guys have beaters and gas savers? Is it worth it? doesnt your insurance go up. What if i get like a 2000$ corrola or something

That's an idea JungleZ.
This is my only car and I'm driving at least 50 miles per day, and spending around $60-70 / week on gas.
I was thinking about getting a cheap used Civic or something along those lines and just getting the cheapest liability insurance available for it.

But I'm with you, it is pretty brutal.

Zoren 370 09-05-2012 09:24 PM

$3.99 in GA for 93 octane.

IDZRVIT 09-06-2012 06:21 AM

$5.60 for a US gal ($6.73 Imp gal) last night for 91 octane. Price is expected to go up another 4 cents per gal tonight.

Haboob 09-06-2012 09:47 AM

Last week it went from 3.97 for 91 to 3.85, then over night on Tues. it jumped back to 3.95.

Ridiculous that they're allowed to do this type of stuff.

bigdog1250 09-06-2012 11:36 AM

$4.6X for premium here in San Francisco :(

Even New York seems to be cheaper. Damn

Huck 09-06-2012 11:54 AM

Here in central Florida I just paid $4.06 at Mobil. First time I've ever paid over $4 :(
