ways to save at chevron?

taikowaza · 03-14-2008, 09:02 PM

I buy all my gas at chevron, I know a lot of you do too, I want to know how I can save at the pump.
I checked at chevron.com, all I found is there credit card service, which seems pretty crap, high interest rates (21%!)and not even managed by them anymore (GM money?). BUT-I am not sure, are there any perks to the chevron card, is it worth it? If anyone knows about other chevron incentives, special cards, points, coupons, rebates, online stuff, anything, thanks for that info. gas is getting really expensive now it's kind of crazy.

I save money by not buying gas at Chevron. Its usually about 10-15 cents cheaper per gallon to buy it elsewhere.

yeah but chevron is the best gas, it's worth it to keep our rigs running their best. I don't want to turn this thread into a 'which gas is best' thread, rather keep it on the 'how can I save at chevron' track, what I'm really looking for is a good points card, or free gas incentive, or 'save money per gallon' etc.
I've tried filling at other places like costco, BP, and even 'no-name' places and IMHO I was running like crap afterwards. I'm sticking with chevron, just my 2c. thanks guys if anyone has a way to save at chev.
no offense stormin- if your vehicle runs great at the other gas station cool!

I know its a proven fact. To get your gas in the morning. Cuz its denser (so more of it) and it wont evaporate off as much. And don't use the automatic filler thing. Cuz it jips you off a lil bit. Just do it yourself. Save the dimes lol.

It was some government document we had to read

None taken. Mine runs just fine on what ever I put in it.

If you want to save some more money on gas, pay in cash, not credit, since some places charge 5-15 cents more per gallon when you use your card. I will agree that name brand gasolines do tend to squeeze out about 20 more miles per tank, some times more.
