Walmart Expands Gas Savings Network to 17,000 Stations
Walmart is expanding its Walmart+ membership gas discount program through a new partnership with CITGO, increasing the number of participating fuel stations from approximately 13,000 to over 17,000 locations across the United States, a roughly 30% growth. The expansion adds about 4,000 CITGO stations, significantly boosting geographic coverage in the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast. Walmart+ members receive a 10-cent per gallon discount at participating CITGO stations, on top of existing discounts at Walmart, Exxon, Mobil, and Murphy stations, as well as Sam's Club fuel. The annual membership fee remains at $98. The move comes amid rising fuel prices, with the national average gasoline price reaching $4.44 per gallon. Walmart reports that members who used the fuel benefit weekly saved over $100 last year, offsetting the membership cost. This expansion underscores Walmart's strategy to enhance the value of its loyalty program by bundling everyday savings, thereby increasing customer retention and engagement.
Alito Warned Oil Investments At Risk From Climate Lawsuits
Consumer Watchdog calls on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from the landmark climate deception case Suncor v. Boulder, alleging a direct financial conflict of interest. New research shows that Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips, in which Alito owns individual stock valued at up to $65,000, have warned shareholders for years that climate deception lawsuits could materially harm their businesses and investment value. Simultaneously, the oil industry—including Suncor, Exxon, and the American Petroleum Institute—argues before the Court that Suncor v. Boulder provides an opportunity to stop such lawsuits nationwide. Alito previously recused himself from the same Boulder litigation in 2023 but has not done so this time. Consumer Watchdog argues this violates the Supreme Court's Code of Conduct regarding financial interest in the subject matter.
