I voted no.

Main reason? I get a discount at Shell gas stations. (Through Kroger)

Second reason? Even with the biggest fluctuations, in my area it's never more than 3 cents difference. Driving all over the place isn't worth 48 cents. Considering I used to always get the cheapest gas (which ended up being Kroger gas almost always) the car hated it, and it will knock and greatly increase consumption when using watered down gas.

The only time I really check is if I'm planning a long trip, I'll check and see the cheapest stations are along the way and fill up there.
