Nice! According to gasbuddy, Baker's at 120th and center is $2.25. It is the cheapest in the metro.

We drove by there last weekend and it was the cheapest we saw anywhere at that time too. I also think that you can get an even lower price if you use your Baker's card.

I already had 3/4 tank, and there were lines, so I didn't try. Usually you always get .02 off with the card, when you buy $100 of food in that month, you get .10 off...

I bet gas guzzling SUV/Truck sales are on the uptick. A lot of people don't consider the long term consequences, they just see lower prices and justify the uneconomical purchase.

Thanks, wasn't quite sure how it worked. I have never been to a Baker's. We have BP gas cards. They used to be the best rebate on gas anywhere when they gave you 5% back. When gas was $4/gallon you would save .20, which was awesome. They changed the rebate system so its not as advantageous for the consumer but they still have double rebate days on the 22nd each month where your rebates are doubled. Since I haven't used mine for a while I think that mean $1.80/gallon off next time. (up to 20 gallons max)

If Gas Buddy has "Annie R" as the reporting person, you can believe it. :) :) :)

It seems like the Bakers and the Shell station on 120th. have a mini gas war going. It's been that way for a few weeks now. Shell has apparently run out of their lowest-priced fuel a couple of times due to it.

Unfortunately, that's probably true. It's a good thing manufacturers are starting to reduce the weight of their vehicle offerings through use of lighter materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber, and smaller turbo-charged engines. For example, the new 2015 Ford F150 Ecoboost is over 700lbs lighter than the last generation and the next gen Audi Q7 is 700 lbs lighter too. I'm not sure how much of these efficiency gains are government-mandated, but I'm all for it regardless of how it's achieved.

I hear you. I was at QT the other night and used my pump start card. I went in, grabbed an ice tea and said Pump 5 and the total was $28. I said, "did I tell you the right pump? The Grey Element?" Se said "yep, it was $27 plus your ice tea"

I don't think I've ever paid over $40 to fill, even when prices were sky high!

I have to use premium in my car so I have paid over $50 even close to $60 when gas prices where high (my tank is also close to 15 gallons) Factor that in with the fact that I drive nearly 35 miles to and from work each day and I like to drive around the city to explore and that is why I am constantly monitoring gas prices.

If you get the right amount of fuel saver purchases... Could they owe you for filling up?

I am pretty sure they have limitations on the savings. I know with the BP gas card we have, the lowest you can pay is .18/gallon even if you have more rewards accumulated. They will just roll over to the next purchase.

I believe HyVee is the same way. IT will take the fuel cost to zero but the .18 / gal tax will be paid

Really...I use BP all the time and everywhere I go they are usually the same price as any non-BP station. I have a rewards card for BP and on the 22nd each month, they double the reward. Right now I think I could get around $2.10 off per gallon. But they do cap the rebate you can use, so I would still have to pay about .13/gallon. BP used to have the best rebate of any gas card. When I first started using it 6-7 years ago, they would give 5% off, which would be around .20/gallon when gas was $4/gallon. (and the best part was not having to buy |expletive| like Hy Vee makes you do)

The Bucky's BP locations usually keep their prices in line with everyone else. Anderson Food Shops are slower to update their prices. I don't know if it's because they don't want to take a loss on inventory in the tanks.

Was approached by a cameraman with KETV wanting to take some b-roll of me filling up for their story about $1.99 gas tonight. My total came out to just a little over $30!
