Claybones Rookie Author Augusta Posts:2 Points:4,140 Joined:Sep 2012	Message Posted: Apr 9, 2013 12:59:25 PM Ignore Claybones Report Abuse Many of the grocery fuel point/reward gimmicks limit you to a certain gallon volume when you cash in your chips. Bi-Lo's is 20 gallons. That's what keeps me from filling up most often.

SwallowOttawa Rookie Author Ottawa Posts:3 Points:7,310 Joined:Aug 2011	Message Posted: Sep 13, 2012 12:17:19 PM Ignore SwallowOttawa Report Abuse Just really running low on gas and need to have some to get by. Main reason is gas prices are too high. Waiting till it get down a bit to have a full tank.
FranklinON Sophomore Author Ottawa Posts:102 Points:360,295 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Sep 12, 2012 8:45:04 AM Ignore FranklinON Report Abuse The price at my favourite station had just spiked unexpectedly in the evening (different from the usual morning commute spike), and I had the misfortune of needing gas at that moment - so I put $20 in and waited for the fill-up until the prices were back down. It worked - they were back down the next day. As for prepayment "convenience" - prepayment is a pain in the a**. I like to fill up the tank completely, so I know exactly how much gas I have. When driving long distances in the country between gas pumps, this is an important safety practice. The first time I went to a pre-pay place, I told the clerk I wanted a fill-up but didn't know how much to pre-pay, and he said with a smirk "don't you know the size of your tank?" - could've smacked him. Obviously unless the tank's running on fumes, you don't know exactly how much space there is. [rant over] Fortunately, most places now let you pre-pay more than you need, and only charge you for what you actually use.
