I mentioned it before but we use the conoco app which saves .10/gal (more I think if you tie it to you checking acct/debit card) and then we pay with my sams club MC which is 5% cb on up to $6000/year on gas. Sometimes there is someplace on Getupside thats available but all of our vehicles are diesel so there isn't always a savings on that. Also Hy-vee is someplace I don't see mentioned a lot here. But we try to watch their fuel saver stuff and they will often have a save .25/gal with a purchase of $50. So we will break our trip up into 2 or 3 payments to get that .25 x3. And stack that with purchasing the things that have an additional fuel saver like sometimes milk will be.10/gal if you buy the hyvee brand. If we do it right we can often save $1.00/gal on a fill up.With the recent news of President Biden banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy, I thought it would be helpful to discuss alternative ways to save at the pump, heating bills and airfare.
