10 cents a gallon off for gas at Walmart

http://content.usatoday.com/communit...unt-rollback/1

Just in time for the Fourth of July driving weekend, Walmart is rolling back prices -- on gasoline. The giant retailer is offering 10 cents off a gallon at Walmart and Murphy USA stations when purchases are made with a reloadable Walmart gift card, MoneyCard or a Walmart credit card.

Huh, the prices went up 10 cents here today for the 4th.

I wouldn't get my gas at Walmart anyways, there's a reason they can knock 10 cents off.......

The deal goes to the end of September, and the gas isn't that bad - it's standard E-10. Yeah, you lose a little mileage, but the 10 cents a gallon more than makes up for it. I've never had an issue with it.

You can't get that deal in PA anyway.

I've never used it but I've heard it has a lot of sulfur in it.

Also - I know it's very popular to bash Walmart, but after the tornado here, I won't. They really stepped up to the plate to help the community.

The newest and largest Walmart in the city was destroyed by the tornado. One of the first thing they did was find jobs for every single one of the displaced employees in other Walmarts in the area. They donated $1 million to the relief effort. They allowed relief organizations to set up in the parking lot of the other store in town, and they kept a lot more registers open than usual. They suspended the membership requirements to shop at the Sam's Club in town. They also marked a LOT of essential supplies down, not one bit of price gouging. For example, they were selling bottled water for $2.47 a case. They are going ***** to the wall clearing the destroyed site, and have announced that a brand new store will be open before Thanksgiving. They really do appear to be committed to the city, not just their bottom line. The only other business in the city with this large a commitment has been Home Depot - their store got destroyed too and it only took them 2 weeks to reopen in a 30,000 square foot tent in the parking lot, and they also donated $1 million. Just about everyone else except Walgreens and Dillons is dragging their feet. It's now been almost 6 weeks, and there are several large stores who haven't even started to clear their lots, much less do anything about rebuilding.

^^ every one of them here has one they say they acutally lose money on gas so they can lure you into the store to spend hundreds..

as for gas, i normally only buy shell gas, unless im out of town or cant make it there or like lately..they have been out of gas. BUT the only gas i have ever had problems with was brookshires gas, i use to buy it because it was the cheapest, since my ranger and many other peoples vehicles ran rough, i will not buy gas from there anymore
