$3.49 at the moment. I use ethanol free premium in my vehicle, so it's typically 15-20 cents more than standard premium unleaded.
My significant other alternates premium & regular every other fill-up. It varies widely for her because we get fuel points from our grocery store (Smith's) Since I don't use their fuel in my vehicle, she racks up points quickly, which results in a dollar off once a month. She paid $1.87 a couple weeks ago. Otherwise it would be $2.87 for regular.

I only get gas from Costco and from two Costco locations.

1. San Jose: $3.35 for premium
2. Fremont: $3.23 for premium

I switch off between the two locations depending on how much gas I have left, current location, and convenience.

@DESERPENTOR You should post yours as well

^ San Jose here too but I usually gas at Chevron or Shell and it's about $3.59 for premium on average.

A little cheaper at let's say Arco or Valero and obviously Costco.

Arco and Valero don't use Top Tier gas do they? Chevron and Shell are both good stuff.

I get my gas at Giant Food Markets using gas rewards points by purchasing Visa Gift Cards which I then use to pay my bills, and I get it for 11.90 each 25 gallon fill up. That equates to 47.6 cents per gallon.

You are a crafty lil fella.

Okay, so here's how it works. Every once in awhile giant food markets in our area runs a special where they will provide anywhere from 2 times to as much as 5 times reward points for gas if you purchase Visa gift cards. So at that moment in time people go crazy buying Visa gift cards. Typically they buy the $500 gift cards and fund them with $500 and it costs $5.95 so for $500 plus the $5.95 you get a $500 Visa gift card but depending on whether it's 2, 3, 4 or 5 times reward points you get 1,000, 1,500, 2,000 or even 2,500 points for your $505.95 spent.

Now, at the gas pump every hundred points reduces your gas price on 25 gallons by 10 cents per gallon so if the gas is $2.889 a gallon 2,900 points get you a one time 25 gallons of gas for free at the pump! Since the gift cards are like cash or a Visa Credit Card you can use them to pay bills online, shop online or in retail establishments, or restaurants.

So after you amass a large volume of points, you can drive up to the pump, scan your gas rewards card at the pump, and then it tells you how much reduction to the price of the gas you're eligible for based on the number of points you have. You then swipe your credit card and the pump price changes to the reduced price. For me it's always the full price of the gas pumped, so the pump price right on the screen drops to $0.000. Right now I have about 50,000 points collectively. So 50000 points / 2,900 = 17.24, meaning I can fill my tank with 25 gallons of gas over 17 times and not pay a penny at the pump.

Below are the rewards points on 1 of the three cards I have. The other two cards have approximately 24,000 points collectively as well.

You can see my purchase on Thursday (2nd receipt immediately above), cost me absolutely nothing at the pump. Those points (and the 25 gallons of regular gas they bought me), cost me just $11.90 in Visa Gift Card activation fees!.

You'd think they'd put a limit on how much off you can get or how many points you can use at once.

Funny thing is, they don't. People have amassed points upwards of 60 and 70 thousand, and then they get 20 or 25 tank full for free. Well it's not totally free, because you do pay 5 dollars and 95 cents for each card that you purchased with but when you're talking about 3 times points which is the last program they ran five hundred dollars in gift cards get you 1500 points which is half a tank of gas for free so for $5.95 I'm getting 12 and a half gallons or for just under 12 bucks I'm getting 25 gallons. When it was 5 times rewards, it was also 30 gallon maximums. That was crazy.

As you can see above, I had some 26,000+ points saved, and the 1500 dollars in gift cards got me 4500 points. Total cost for the gift cards was $1500 which is cash that I can use anywhere, and three $5.95 fees.
