Isn't it usually cheaper in Shreveport? Weird.

I paid about $2.53 a gallon over the weekend. Unfortunately, that just means I spend too much money at Reasors.

I bet gasoline prices in Tulsa will fall below $3 a gallon before June 30th.

I am willing to bet a cold twelve pack of beer.

Any takers?

Does that mean any beer?

The appropriate question in this situation is not "what beer," but "what state" since the part about a cold 12 pack narrows it down significantly if delivery is to be taken in Oklahoma. ;)

Shhhhh...I was going to make him drive to Caney if I won!

Plus, I bet he thought it was going to be the local 3.2 variety, which obviously can be had refrigerated..

Remember RM is a mole for the DNC.  The oil companies are going to drop the price to get Obama re-elected ;)

Oh you simpleton. Obama has already won no matter what the price of gas is. We've already counted the votes.

And SW Oregon, and NW California have the highest. Hell, it's cheaper in San Francisco then where I'm at. 60 miles from it's $.60 cheaper.

I predicted gas prices would drop below $3 before June 30th and they do on June 29th. At the time, gas prices had just gone up to $3.60 and there were stories in the news that gas prices would be $5 this summer.

Nostradamus couldn't carry my jock strap.

Let me know if you need some lottery number predictions.

I haven't seen it below $3 yet.  $3.02 when I left from work at the QT at 51st/129th.  Where is it cheaper than that?

OK, I looked at that after I posted my question and there was only one in Claremore.

I will now defer to RM's Nostradamus-like clairvoyance...

Spend $50 and get $0.05 off per gallon
Let say you fill up 15 gallons...    you end up "saving" $0.75
A whole 1.5% off your Reasors bill
A whole .008% off the combined purchase of groceries + gas

You must spend $50 you get the discount.   gotta deal with the card, etc
I'd say you can save that $0.75 a lot easier by just comparison shopping within the store.

We spend quite of money at reasors so I thought the card would be dandy.  But apparently we seldom spend at least $50 at one go..
So far my total discount on gas has been about $0.68

The old Advantage program was much better for me, because you didn't have to spend the $50 in one shot. They also shortened the expiration time by 30 days and went from a discount on up to 25 gallons to a discount on only up to 20 gallons. I was getting a good 1.4% worth of value with the old program. With the new one, it would be less than half that. Remember that if you spend $99.99, you only get credit for $50, just the same as spending $49.99 gets you no credit at all.

On the bright side, Google Wallet works in the store, so Google paid for $10 of my groceries a while back. Very convenient and amusing to onlookers who see me paying with my phone, although they may be more amused when it doesn't work, which is most places with the PayPass/PayWave/ExpressPay readers.

That's why I like Safeway's rewards system, simple and easy, and the limit is a single fill up.

http://www.safeway.com/ShopStores/RewardPoints-FAQ (http://www.safeway.com/ShopStores/RewardPoints-FAQ)

Fred Meyer/Fry's (Kroger) is the similar for earning points, bu they limit you to 35 gallons for the discount.

QT is still $3.029 in much of Tulsa, but at 161st/44 and 193rd/44 they are at $2.999. The Fiesta Mart in Inola is charging $3.029, while the Love's in Choteau is $3.149(!).

With my rewards card. I purchased 20 gallons Friday at QT for 2.77 cents a gallon.
Anyone have any idea what the average time that these programs last?
Cause I know once I start using and liking anything. It's short lived.

Reasors' Advantage was around a year or two before they changed the program.

Congratulations.  Tulsa made the headline and today gas is back up to $3.09.

Glad I filled up last night then. It was $2.98 or so at QT. It's too freakin' hot to go check and see what it is now.

It is funny how prices decline very slowly when oil prices fall, but as soon as oil prices rise even a bit it shoots back up overnight.
