Fuel pricing: injury to insult

So I go to the Local Flying J yesterday to fuel up for the week. IIRC I paid $3.96/gal. Anyway, I go to the register for other stuff. The cashier rings me up and says something about how close I am to getting to the $0.08/gal discount level on my rewards card. As it turns out, after spending <$50 in a month with your rewards card, you get this deep discount.

Well, I read the fine print in the new rewards structure (that they don't tell anyone about). As if high diesel and relatively low gas prices aren't enough, the gas rewards schedule has been modified as I noted above from $0.02/gal to $0.08/gal.

Now the insult:

The rewards discount for diesel went DOWN from $0.015/gal to $0.0125/gal for purchases of <$50. Good god! With the average price of gas these days being $0.50 cheaper per gallon than diesel, GASSERS get the $0.08/gal discount? Something is really wrong here.

The delivery of goods runs on diesel, and yet the gassers get the hefty discount while OTR drivers and the rest of us who drive diesel vehicles get ZIP?
