Do you fill up at the cheapest place or is there a certain station that are loyal to or one you stay away from?

There are 2 that I won't go to again. I had bad gas from one last year, and on the news a man got bad gas (too much water in the gas) and it cost him hundreds of dollars in damage to his car from another by my house. For the most part there are 2 different stations I end up using, and they are price comparable with others.

Whereever looks good it has to be a "brand" name gas station like shell or bp or whatnot you never know about those super cheapy shady places. Won't get gas from Valero though.

We have a Speedway we go to if we don't have discount points at The Get Go (grocery store that gives cents off gallons (10 cents off every $50 spent at the grocery store) IF we are by Bjs we go there but really thier gas is around the same price as the reg place. I think its more expensive in that city/county!

I usually get gas at the Kwik Trip in town, but will go other places if it is cheaper. I am not that loyal.

Sam's Club. They are always the cheapest, and it is convenient to where I live.

I usually go to my local Mobil station. Their prices are ok. We have filled up a couple of times at Costco.

I'm not that loyal ~ however I usually fill up at HyVee's gas station. If you grocery shop at HyVee you automatically get $.04-.06 off the price of gas by showing your receipt. They also have "gas-busters" in their store and if you buy them it's an additional $.04 off for EVERY ONE you buy. They aren't marked on the shelf (usually items are sale flyer items though), but I have gotten as much as $.12 off/gal just by shopping first.

I am not what you call loyal to certain stations, I usually go to one of two in town. I will not go to one certain station because we have gotten bad gas in the past.

I have a Kroger gas station 1/4 mile from my house. It happens to be the cheapest in the area.

I either go to Kroger or Thortons. They are usually the cheapest. But if I were to find a better deal somewhere else, I would take it. I never go to Marathon though, here they are usually 5 to 10 cents more.
