Hey, I can't let you do that!

Gas prices have been dropping and are now $3.65 a gallon. E85 is $3.39 at the Wexford Getgo station. It didn't stop me from getting 11.0 gallons of E85 in car and two red portable tanks or 4 each. I added 5 gallons of E10 to give my vehicle a mixture of E35 or so based upon the LTF values of 17-19.

When I was using my Giant Eagle discount for E85, a voice over the speakers came on and said "I can't let you use the discount at the E85 pump". I paid no attention as the pump did accept this type of transaction which included 11 gallons of E85. I went into the store to purchase a small cup of coffee which is advertised at .87 cents. Well, the clerk charged me the next highest price but did not say anything about E85. I then left and drove home with a MPG of 33.0.
