If you use their Kwik Shop Kroger affiliated gas pumps just say the regular 3 cent for anyone with Kroger gas card the pump shows you getting the discount; however, when I checked my bank account I was charged $1 dollar for the transaction...figure the math. What discount did I get NONE; I paid more than gas sign shows without any discount being applied. I thought some error but had not called my bank yet; again, I go buy 20 gals. with 3 cent discount...again bank charged additional $1 in additon to cost of gas...so I ended up both times paying more than the gas shows to everyone before discount? KROGER'S HAS LOST MY BUSINESS...AS SOMEONE ELSE SAID WILL ONLY SHOP SALE ITEMS...IT'S ABSURD THEY ARE GOING TO REQUIRE CHARGE CARD. THINK OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT REALLY CAN'T AFFORD THEM, AND HOWEVER, THEY WILL NO LONGER GET A BREAK FOR SHOPPING KROGER ON THEIR GAS. I'M NOT ONLY PERSON I'VE HEARD SAY THEIR REGULAR WEEKLY AND IN BETWEEN SHOPPING DAYS AT KROGER ARE OVER. DO THEY REALLY CARE?

Please go back to the previous way. This was one way I continued to even shop at Kroger since it's considerably higher than your competitors. Your prices are still higher than the guy down the street! You really don't give us much incentive. My husband and I do NOT like the new current way your discounting the gas.

Every time you fill up, whether it's 2 gallons or 20, they deduct $100 from your purchases. So, if you buy $104 in groceries on July 1 and buy 5 gallons of gas on July 2, they reduce your purchases to $4, so you have to buy another $100 to get the $.15 off. However, I will say that it would be foolish not to use their Mastercard. Use their money, pay it off at the end of the month. You get the fuel discount, tons of rewards and you don't pay any interest if you pay the full balance at the end of the month. I've saved close to a thousand a year. Be careful.

I am thinking of trying to buy gas from those companies that do not import fuel such as BP. Shell, Exxon, Mobil all import their fuel from Saudi.

My receipts still say I can redeem earned Fuel Rewards through 5/31. That would indicate the program is not ending. However, there's the caveat: Certain restrictions apply. But it's not explained.

This would translate into lower MPG if you based your calculations on the pump amounts. Tom, is there any chance that the pumps were inaccurate, such that were delivering less gas than they claimed?

At first I was concerned that my auto was in need of repair because a sure sign of trouble is a drop in MPG. I switched back to Conoco and my mileage improved. I know someone that had the same experience. It doesn't make sense to me. We live at 5000 feet elevation, I am not sure it is a factor. I have noticed a drop in MPG with Kroger fuel.

I went to fill up at my local neighborhood Kroger and the card scanner was taped over. I was owed my .10/gallon from the month before so I just stuck my Kroger card in the credit card slot.
