If you guys don't feel like waiting just join carclub.com and you get 10% off gas no matter where you buy it (which, from the price posted above is the same as priceline will give you). After the first month there is a fee (and it is more than $3 but pretty small) and there are additional benefits. Also, I think there is also still the $15 amazon.com GC promotion going on.
