Question

Answer 1

Safeway is not in the business of selling gas as their main product. So what their gas stations serve as are a way to increase traffic to their stores with the notion that maybe people who fill up their vehicles with their gas, may also combine that trip with a trip to their grocery store.  Their "cheaper" gas may also be a marketing strategy to let the public know that their gas is amongst the cheapest in the industry and maybe perhaps instill the thought with the public that maybe perhaps their groceries are cheaper than the competitors' as well.
