Morgan Hill Gas Prices Are Climbing Once Again
Sometimes I hate being right 
Two weeks back I asked if Morgan Hill gas prices had bottomed out. 
Turns out they had.
When I was out running errands earlier this afternoon all of the Morgan Hill gas stations I passed were posted at $1.89 per gallon with only Safeway bucking the trend at $1.86/gallon. Of course, they’re likely going to increase tomorrow and the next day as people once again start accruing gas rewards through the use of their Safeway loyalty cards.
Speaking of Safeway gas rewards, they were sure nice while they lasted! And I’m clearly not alone in that belief as the record gas lines at the corner of Monterey and Dunne on New Year’s Eve proved. With gas rewards expiring that day (and prices increasing elsewhere) it seemed like the entire population of Morgan hill was filling up the family car. I know this, because I was in line there myself. 
Check out that pic! Yes, I paid $0.67 per gallon of gas! Woohoo! And that was just in this final fill up of the year. Over the three months the new PowerPump Gas Rewards program was in effect I managed to accrue and use more than 35 $0.10 per gallon discounts. Since my average fill up is between 25 and 30 gallons and I fill up every ten days or so this really added up, allowing me to be a little more free with my holiday spending this year.
Safeway still has its expanded PowerPump Gas Rewards program in efect. The next expiration date for the gas rewards is March 31, 2009. Unfortunately, they aren’t currently doing the Double Gas Rewards for Gift Cards promotion that ran throughout December. Hopefully, they’ll manage to keep the core price per gallon down low enough that I can get more fillups like the one pictured above.
