Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On May 14, 2010, Casey's General Stores, Inc. (the "Company") reported April 2010 same-store sales results for stores open for one full year. Same-store sales across the business increased substantially in April 2010 compared to April 2009. Same-store sales for prepared food and fountain increased 9.0%, with grocery and other merchandise increasing 7.8%, in April 2010 compared to April 2009.

In addition, same-store gasoline gallons sold increased 2.5% in April 2010 compared to April 2009.   The gasoline margin was above the Company's fiscal 2010 goal of 11.0 cents per gallon. The average retail price of gasoline sold during April 2010 was $2.73 per gallon.   

The positive results in April were driven in part by increased customer traffic, favorable weather and strategic price increases in the prepared food and fountain category.

The information contained in this Item is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exch ange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
