Cheapest Gas Prices
With the recent large increases in gasoline prices, consumers are increasingly looking to find the cheapest gas prices available.
Using the internet has made it much easier to find the lowest gas prices in your area using sites such as gasbuddy.com. At gasbuddy, you can type in your zipcode and find the cheapest gas in your area (accurate within a 48 hr. period). Gas prices can vary 10-20 cents a gallon or more in a relatively small area and if you have a long daily commute, the range can be even greater.
Along with finding the best gasoline prices, be sure to keep in mind other gas savings tips such as:
1. Plan and consolidate your shopping and other driving tasks.
2. Keep your tires properly inflated and your tank relatively full (to reduce evaporation).
3. Don’t carry around unnecessary weight in the trunk unless you need added traction in winter.
4. Consider trading in your ‘gashog’ for a more economical model.
5. Consider riding the bus or a bike to reduce stress, save money, or get some needed exercise.
