How to Save Gas and Money

Posted by Frank under Business News, Tips

It’s costing all of us more and more money to fill up the gas tank. And while that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, there are some things you can do to get the most value per gas dollar.

The difference between the most expensive gas station and the cheapest gas station is thirty to forty cents on average, according to reports.

Here are some general rules of thumb:

  • The richest areas of town often charge more for gas.
  • Gas stations near major highways often charge more for gas because land is generally more valuable.
  • Service stations with auto repair shops or car washes often have more expensive gas.
  • You may also find good deals at gas stations affiliated with wholesale clubs. These retailers often sell cheaper gas as a way to get people in the door to buy their other products. But bear in mind you may have to pay for a membership.
  • What time you get to the pump is also important. According to GasPriceWatch.com, filling up on Wednesday morning is the best time to buy gasoline. That’s because prices usually move up for the weekend, after which they settle, hitting the low point by Wednesday.

    And it makes sense to buy your gas in the morning when it’s the coolest time of day. This is when gasoline is most dense. Gas pumps charge by the volume of gasoline, not the density, so in colder temperatures you’ll get more for your dollar.

    Change Your Driving Style:

    Changing from an aggressive hard accelerating, hard braking, driving style to a more relaxed style incorporating gentle acceleration and cruise control on the highway, can improve fuel efficiency by as much as 35 percent, according to an
    Edmunds.com     study.
