Grocery stores promoting gas discounts are not helping the transition away from gas vehicles
Large grocery stores around here offer cheaper gas if you shop at there store. This can be up to a dollar a gallon off.

Gas discounts are pretty small.
At least for Kroger, you get $0.03 baseline with no discount. After you spend $100, you get one fill up with $0.10 discount up to 35 gallons. My vehicle in particular has 11 gallons. So my maximum discount is $1.10, up from base line $0.33 discount. $1.10 discount per $100 spent is barely worth it.
Even if you used all 35 gallons, that's $3.50 discount per $100 spent.
So if you have a massive vehicle that takes 35 gallons, you can save $35 off the fill up after you spend $1000 in the store. Could you have saved that $35 by shopping at a different grocery store?
I eat meat daily, who thought grocery stores cared about the environment when trying to sell meat at "low costs" and advertising it as much as possible. If they sell beef, they are a big chunk of the beef.
