Carl: It wasn’t an “artful dance.” Like I said in comment #8 (just before yours), I have no idea. Given that they don’t own a refinery, I would assume that they buy it from whoever brings it to market at the best price point.

The article did an artful dance around the question of where does Kroger acquire the gasoline!

Bette: I have no idea, but I would assume that it varies. Since they don’t refine their own gas, they probably buy from wherever they can get it cheapest.

To stop the stores – vendors or anyone else from doing this, pay by using your bank’s bill pay system, that way you will have a record of when they received the money and they cannot deny they did not receive the money. This way they do not argue with you, they argue with your the bank. Have used this a few times and the vendor started posting the money on time.

I went for the savings of 15 cents a gallon. I’ve had the card since sometime in January ‘07. We got our first statement and I noticed their requirement states you must send the payment 7 days before it is due. Since it was the first we beat that by a day just ot make sure. Our next statement included $26 interest and a $35 penalty because they said they never got the check….Hmmm..their envelope…their address in the window…they can screw me once but that’s it. I’m cancelling it as soon as all the uses have come through. I think others have sued credit card companies over this same kind of practice and Kroger is no different – they make money by NOT posting your check. Criminal, I think.

You’re not factoring in the fact that gas prices are never exact matches and can rarely be compared at no cost. ie. you typically have to drive around to various stations to figure out which is lowest and driving around costs money and you’re not going to save more than 5 cents a gallon by comparison shopping. Kroger could be 2-5 cents higher (by design or accident) than other stations on your route and still get regular business while at the same time wiping out all of your estimated cost savings. I wasn’t a fan of this when it was $.10/gal off and it sounds like it just got worse…

Yep, pretty confusing. Sounds like a laywer wrote it.
