Hy-Vee is a regional supermarket chain HQ'ed in Iowa. I don't know how far out it goes in various states but in my Sioux Falls metro, its the largest grocery outlet besides Walmart, although there are a couple other players here.

Anyway, we buy a lot at Hy-Vee and they have a "Fuel Saver' card which can be used at their own motor vehicle pumps or with Casey's, which is a C-store that's also based out of Iowa. Purchases at Hy-Vee add cents off a gallon of fuel until they reach a point where the points expire. The max amount of fuel that can be bought at one time is 20 gallons. Yesterday, we had $1.53 in points that would start falling off so I took my beast, an empty 5 gallon "can", and had the one kid follow me to fill up from the same hose (but on the other side of the island).

His car took about 4 1/2 gallons to top off, I filled my gas can another 4 1/2 gallons, and then put 11 gallons in my wheels. It ended up coasting us 82 cents a gallon for E10. I smiled when I left the bedroom town Casey's. Sometimes simple things are pretty good wink .

I wonder if there will be enough coffee and middle fingers to make it through the day.

Bummer on the $3.89 today.

I guess in Washington, you have to pay for the People's Republic west of the Cascades...
