Tips & Best Practices
- Gas prices are typically cheapest on Mondays and Tuesdays.
- Warehouse clubs (Costco, Sam's) often have the lowest prices.
- Use apps like GasBuddy to find cheap gas nearby.
- Filling up before the tank is empty prevents running on fumes which can damage fuel pumps.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Not comparing prices at nearby stations.
✅ Gas prices can vary by $0.20-0.50 between stations just blocks apart. A quick check on GasBuddy can save $3-8 per fill-up.
❌ Assuming premium gas improves performance in regular cars.
✅ Most cars run on regular (87 octane). Using premium when regular is recommended wastes $0.40-0.70/gal with no benefit.
