Gas at my local Kroger affiliate was $2.78 last time I filled on my own dime on Feb 28, using my January fuel points for 65¢ off per gallon.
I was just in N'awlins over spring break from classes for a family wedding. Gas is now $3.69 down the street 2.5 weeks later.
I've got an overnight loop starting Thursday centered around a $300 non-targeted audio apartment shop for Grace Hill. They are the only ShopMetrics site where I search the 150+ range as I can usually turn up some more remote complexes with some really nice fees.
I filled in with 4 Shells, and I'm waiting for the 72-hour windows on 3 Exxons, and the 12-hour windows for 4 Green Dinos on the app with the friendlier reporting process. Dunno if those will come through as the current last date on the host MSC's site is tomorrow.
I will need to buy a bit of gas on my own dime to get me up to the apartment complex after I do a 4-stop loop of credit unions today and a narrative-heavy Italian lunch that I booked for Thursday before I left on spring break.
I'll be heading to Costco @ $3.25. Read an article over the weekend about how they do not lower their prices as aggressively when prices drop, allowing them to raise them less aggressively when they go up, giving them a sizable edge in the market.
If the Green Dinos hit I should be able to make it back home with about the same amount in my tank as when I left.
