Kroger ends fuel discount as gas prices hit September record
Original: Kroger pulls a gas perk as pump prices set a September record
Kroger has discontinued one of its gas perk programs just as US pump prices reached a record high for the month of September. The grocery chain's fuel savings scheme had let shoppers redeem points for discounts at the pump. The timing of the withdrawal has drawn attention, with customers facing some of the highest September fuel costs on record now losing a program that cushioned those expenses.
Why now: Gas prices setting a September record while a major retailer removes a fuel discount directly hits consumers' wallets.
