What are you paying for gas?
By skeet | August 5, 2008
When I first bought my Saturn I couldn’t fit $30.00 worth of gas in the tank. My last fill-up, a week or so ago, cost me $57.25. I’m almost down to fumes again and am working across-island tomorrow, so I’ll have to fill up before I leave the Waianae Coast in the morning. GasBuddy.com says I’ll be paying about 10ยข a gallon more this time. Their quoted prices have not always been spot-on for me, but prices around the island can vary greatly, so that’s to be expected. I know I’d pay much more if I bought it in town instead of out here in the country.
Do you shop around for the lowest gas prices? How far would you drive to fill up for a few pennies less? Too much driving will burn up any savings, of course, but if prices vary near home it makes sense to do a little comparison shopping before you pour that liquid gold into your tank. If you live in the US or Canada, GasBuddy is a good way to check before you roll out of the driveway. Most areas have prices listed station-by-station so you can select the best prices in your own locale. Good luck with that!
