Lower Your Fuel Costs to 89 Cents For A Gallon Of Gas Now!

By:

You can learn how consumers have cut the price of gas to unheard of levels. 89 cents was what one consumer paid, while $1.09 was what another paid. They applied to their gas purchases the same ideas they used when they purchased other items. This is how.

Not long ago, Kellie Courtney of Cleveland paid only 89 cents per gallon of gas. Marion Charvat paid $1.09 a gallon. Marion filled her Volkswagen Jetta for only $12.45. How could they buy gas so cheap? They did it because they are smart consumers. Here's how they did it.

The reason that those consumers, Marion and Kellie, could purchase gas at those prices is because they bought gas like they would buy any other item. They found a frequent buyer program that enabled them to lower their gas price. They shopped around and they found a way to buy gas at a place that had the absolute lowest price. They found it at Giant Eagle markets,a chain of supermarkets.

Giant Eagle does business in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. Recently Giant Eagle added a new component to their frequent shopper program. It is called Fuelperks. It is a program that offers discounts on gas at Giant Eagle's own stations for shopping at Giant Eagle using their frequent shopper card.

Whenever a consumer at Giant Eagle purchases Fifty dollars of merchandise they get a 10 cent price reduction for a gallon of gas for one fill up. If a consumer purchases $100.00 worth of products at Giant Eagle it equates to a 20 cent reduction. That means that if a family spends $500.00 at Giant Eagle it would produce a discount of $1.00 per gallon. Spend enough at Giant Eagle and you could get gasoline for free.

The prices in Giant Eagle stores are the same as other groceries in the area so they are not making up the discounts by gouging on grocery prices. Likewise the Get-Go price on fuel is in line with competitors. That means that this program produces real world savings, not artificial savings. A big family that buys a lot of food every week will earn big discounts very quickly.

What if you don't have a Giant Eagle store where you live? You can still apply the same principle to the way you approach buying gas and still find yourself with significant savings. You need to be a price conscious buyer. You need to do your research.

Gas is the same as anything else that you buy. Find the best prices like you would shop for the lowest prices like you would for other items. Find frequent buyer deals in your area that provide you with discounts on gas. Be on the look out for gasoline discounts and special programs where ever you see a pump. Many gas outlets now have frequent shopper programs that they didn't have before. Look for stores in your region that didn't used to sell gas but now does.

In order to compete with the new grocery gas stations many gas convenience stores are beginning to implement frequent shopper programs that will result in lower gas costs. But more and more traditional stores that never sold gas before are realizing that discount gas is a big incentive to get shoppers. Giant Eagle is one example of a traditional grocery store branching out to sell gas at a discount.

According to the Food Marketing Institute, just 18% of grocery stores built in 2003 had gas pumps; last year, more than 60% of new stores were built with gas stations. They have seen the value of offering gas to their customers as a loss leader.

The giant stores like Wal-Mart / Sam's Club are now a significant force in the fuel station industry. The VP in charge of fuel for Wal-Mart wants to create gas stations at every Sam's Club. That translates into lower fuel prices for you.

Treat gas like anything else you buy. Comparison shop all the time. Be on the look out for deals, and low prices. Find the stores that have the best program for you. Look for low gas prices at non traditional places like grocery stores or big box retailers. If you do your homework you might be able to buy that tank of gas for 89 cents.
