Well Over A Year
Jan, last year when I was in Florida in December I saw a story on tv about this station and they interviewed the owner. He said if you don't like the price don't stop here. He is praying on the car rental traveler that has to fill up the rental before turning it in. I have not rented a car in a long time so I have no idea as to what the cost per gallon is if you have the rental company fill it up for you. I would bet is will be a lot higher than the "normal" stations.
Here in the Akron Ohio area you can find gas around $1.75 a gallon today.
Back in October I did a 30 gallon fill-up in my F-150 for a total cost of $5.67. That is correct I paid $.189 cents a gallon. This past Sunday I did another 30 gallon one for $14.97
In this area there is a grocery chain called Giant Eagle. There you can get $.20 off every gallon of gas for every $50.00 you spend in the store. This includes a good selection of gift cards. I started stocking up on restraint gift cards for the month of December to use while at TV. You can stock up on Micky D's, Starbuck's, Bob Evans, TGI Fridays, Olive Garden and a host of other national chains. The only thing is that I want to try a lot of the local establishments in TV but fall back on the others as needed. If I don't use all the cards at TV I can use them here at home.
You can also put your purchased on a credit card and get more of a discount. The way I have it worked out for every $100.00 I spend at that Giant Eagle I save $14.00. Now you have to watch in that Giant Eagle is not the lowest place to buy groceries. I use another store called Marc's for things but other than the gift cards, meats and a few things I cannot at Marc's. Giant Eagle will also double any coupons up to $2.00 everyday.
In these trying times you have to know how to play the game.
19 Days and counting for a month in TV and I cannot wait.
