Go you have Giant Eagle grovery stores in your area? They also have gas stations called GetGo. For every 50 bucks you spend on food at Giant Eagle, you get 10 cents off per gallon at GetGo. Some people (who buy tons of food for large families) have actually filled up their cars for, like, 90 cents per gallon! I haven't gotten it nearly that low, but it's a way to get around the price increases.
I think other big stores are getting in on this sort of idea too, so look around! It's driving the independant gas stations insane though! Might put em out of business.
Anyway, I'm finally glad I have a boring lil Toyota.
