Default It happens Every Spring

Every just as the spring breakers drive and the snow bird are heading north--the local gas stations jack up their prices at least 15-20 cents/ gal

Our cars require premium,& Sam's club is close to 40 cents a gallon cheaper than the two shell stations on 466.

I can get premium cheap @ Sam's than mid-level @ the 2 shell stations

And I have a fuel rewards card

Stay away from the Shell stations in The Villages. They are seldom competitive when it comes to price.

Shell prices are great. I just filled up at the Colony Shell and they checked the oil, washed the windows, and checked the tire pressure. It is there new Retro service that they instituted at the demise of the Winn Dixie Fuel Perks Program.

Whatever happened to the ole ten cents difference between grades? Better yet, when are they going to get rid of the 9/10 of a cent on the price. They have us conditioned to believe the price is 2.22 when it is way closer to 2.23. Now back to you regularly scheduled program.

I buy shell gas cards, that way I don't have to worry about skimmer's. Seems about ever week or two on the news some were gas station get hit with skimming credit cards. For me convince sometimes over weighs price. Shell is close and easy. I haven't seen seasons here yet seems like spring get by passed right into summer. I agree 40 cent gallon is worth the aggravation. But, are you really getting premium being sams connected to walmart?
