Ever notice that they don't post their prices and that their prices are 10-20 cents higher than other stations?! 4951

The only ones I see without a price is the Exxon at KW and WLH and the Shell at KW and Chestnut Ridge.  Yep, I guess it cost more to drive that five mile or so into KW to deliver...  NOT...  The prices are regulated by the owner of the store/station.  In the case of Exxon and Shell they are owned by Timewise.  The fuel companies (at least Shell anyway, I work for them) provides a price for the gas and guidelines as to what they can charge and it seems the KW stations choose the highest price possible.

Yes, I am hoping the new HEB puts a ding in that strategy.
I don't buy gas in KW, plenty of cheaper options nearby. 4951

I like how they put a huge sign saying the price......then in very small print mention that it's the cash price and the regular price is $0.10 higher. I only buy gas at Kroger. With my card, it's not unusual to pay $1.50/gallon.  4951

Gas is still around $25 to fill up my car and so what if it goes a few bucks higher from time to time but I just moved offices from the beltway to the front of Kingwood so my weekly fill up has turned into a week and a half at least 4951

Despite not getting kroger points off, exxon and mobil on woodland hills/northpark as a rule have the same price as Kroger, sometimes lower rarely higher - the chapest prices in kingwood. Ones in back are higher. The price wars at lake hou/1960 and Lee/1960 will save you another dime. Beware of off brand gas. 4951

It all comes out of pretty much the same tank.  The only difference it the additives in parts per million that Shell put into their gas vs Exxon or Mobil etc.  There is of course the difference in the tanker moving the gas and their quality of trailer cleaning.  That can have an effect on things...

I'm supposed to put premium in my car because of the turbo and the difference in premium from one station to another can be big.  Even if regular is a good price their premium might be a lot higher than another station.  HEB seems to be pretty reasonable.I'll pay for Bucees gas for the clean bathroom.  4951

Just got a a Shell reward card that is bridged to my CC. Saving 10 cents a gallon. Not a big deal but I fill up once a week and it is right by my home so it makes sense. Think Shell also takes the Kroger reward card.  4951

@beastmode:  They do but some stations cap it a $.03/gallon and some are $.05/gallon.  I have enough fuel rewards they had out at the office for $1.50 off per gallon. Time to fill up the truck.
