Lower Gas Priced Stations

LOWER GAS PRICED STATIONS

I saw the following report on the news this morning and thought with the rising prices of gas that the tips and info would be appreciated to save a few dollars here and there.

Good to know where I can save 3 cents a gallon in my city :P

Seems places around here don't change the prices too largely. I remember one time, there was a gas station that had 10 cents cheaper gas, so EVERYBODY went there, and the place only has 4 pumps...yeah...lines out past the road. It was nuts.

^+1.

$0.03 saved per gallon = $0.45 for 15 gallons.

Extra five miles driven (we'll say round trip) @ 20mpg (being optomistic) = 1/4 a gallon.

.25 gallons at $3.50 (being optomistic again) = $0.875.

= spending two times more than what you save to drive two and a half miles further (and back).

I just fill my tank 3/4 full with gas then fill the rest with free water. Once a drive like a maniac for the first few mills it gets mixed up good and can't tell the difference performance-wise.

one of the cheapest places in town is right across the street from me. I try and buy stuff from their mini-market regularly since I know they cant be making any money on the gas.
