You read that right. $1.21.9 per gallon. The normal price IS $2.21, but I had a one dollar per gallon discount racked up on my Safeway card. They will only let you get 25 gallons at that price, but I take full advantage of that program, even taking gas cans with me when I don't have that much capacity left. I estimate that the program has saved me at least $300.00 over the past year alone.
