Wal-Mart Provides 15 Cents per Gallon Savings at the Pump

“Great Gas Rollback” scheduled from Labor Day through Christmas Eve.

http://www.cleanmpg.com/photos/data/501/Walmart_Gas_savings.jpg
Wayne Gerdes - CleanMPG - Sept 1, 2012

This beats most of the credit card games people play.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. average retail price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has increased twenty seven cents this month to $3.78 per gallon this week. This is 15 cents per gallon higher than it was last year at this time. To cover that 15 cent per gallon year over year increase, Wal-Mart is set to do something about it.

Wal-Mart has reinstated its “Great Gas Rollback” program providing customers savings on fuel purchases in three different ways. Customers using a Wal-Mart gift card will receive a 10 cent per gallon discount. Customers who use a Wal-Mart MoneyCard or Wal-Mart credit card will save 15 cents per gallon on their fuel purchases.

The Great Gas Rollback began yesterday and will continue through Christmas Eve. Gas will be discounted at more than 1,000 Murphy USA and Wal-Mart gas stations located at Wal-Mart Supercenters in participating states.

According to Wal-Mart documents, the company saved customers nearly $60 million with last year’s basic gas price rollback program. This year, they are providing an even larger discount which should provide savings far beyond that of last year’s totals.

The “Great Gas Rollback” program will be available in 20 following 48 contiguous states:

Arkansas, Michigan. Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Missouri, Georgia, New Mexico, Idaho, North Carolina, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, Iowa, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana, Virginia.

I have another off-topic personal Wal-Mart story going up in a few minutes that could potentially save some even more $’s although it is nothing like this. Or maybe it is?

Re: Wal-Mart Provides 15 Cents per Gallon Savings at the Pump

Kroger has the "Hot Savings on Fuel" Program. You can get up to $2.00 off a gallon.

Re: Wal-Mart Provides 15 Cents per Gallon Savings at the Pump

I use a PenFed Credit Union card that gives me 5% any gas station(pay at pump), 3% off grocery store and 1% anywhere else.

Must join credit union to get card.
I've been a member for 8 to 10 years and they are a good credit union.

+1, GasBuddy Smart Phone App and PenFed Credit Card for the win!

Link to Walmart promotion, which also has link to see if your Walmart is participating: http://www.walmart.com/cp/Rollbacks-On-Gas/1087144

Re: Wal-Mart Provides 15 Cents per Gallon Savings at the Pump

I'd never consider putting the Wal-Mart ethanol crap in my vehicles. My roommate does it because there's a Wal-Mart right by her work, so its convenient for her.

Is it Wal-Mart part or the ethanol part that you object to?

Re: Wal-Mart Provides 15 Cents per Gallon Savings at the Pump

okay just got a Walmart moneycard and it is a money racket!
First off it costs $3.00 to get one= 20 gallons break even
then there are monthly service fees of $3.00 (unless you reload a grand in there)=20 gallons
1st monthly fee is within 10 days
Reload at Walmart fee $3.00= another 20 gallons
unless you are check cashing then you pay the check cashing fee
reload @ green dot retailer varies= ??
reload with a direct deposit is free because walmart wants all your moneys!
ATM withdrawal $2.00= 13 and one-third gallons
ATM balance inquiry $1.00= 6 and two-thirds gallons
plus all the personalized card fees (which I will not be participating in)

I paid $103 to get a $100 card, then had to activate by phone. Then they wanted way too much personal info to get me a personalized card. Why does walmart need my SSN for a prepaid card? They don't. Why do they need a home phone or a cell phone number? They don't! All they need is a NAME and a MAILING ADDRESS for the personalized card. But they want to collect data on you to sell to advertisers and they trick you into giving it to them FOR A FEE!

So I paid 3.489 a gallon for 16.121 gallons for walmart to round up to $56.25 (remember the Office Space virus or superman 3??). My remainder is 43.75 or 12.5 gallons if I can fill up the other vehicle within ten days and avoid this monthly fee. So I saved a whopping $1.30! ($100/3.489 *$3.639 -$103) Compared to the gift card ($103/3.539) getting me 29.1 gallons and the money cards 28.7 gallons for the same money.

Anyone know if the giftcards have "fees" now?

FYI I have some fuel additive bought before I started hypermiling to compensate for crappy gas
