Historically, the Smiths/Kroger affiliated stations are within about 10 cents of the lowest street price/Costco (sometimes they are equal to the lowest street price/Costco). They are never "too far off" like Chevron/Texaco/Safeway is. Also the Smiths/Kroger affiliated stations are same price for gas cash or credit again unlike most of Safeway's regions on the west coast.
