Should a comma ever precede "and"

Hello,

On one of my pages I thought the phrase
"groceries, & gas" was incorrect because there is a comma after groceries and before gas. The entire sentence (ignoring capitization) is:

"Yes, you can eliminate your groceries, & gas bill!"

Now that I think about it, the word "groceries" probably should be "grocery".

At any rate, please correct all errors in American English in the sentence:

"Yes, you can eliminate your groceries, & gas bill!"

Yes, you can eliminate your grocery and gas bills ! No comma before 'and' in a list of two items.
