Tips for Cheapest Gas
Depending on where you live there is most likely at least one gas station that has something special going on which allows it to offer gasoline for around $0.10 a gallon cheaper. The easiest way to save money on gas is, of course, to buy cheaper gas in the first place.
An example of this, here in Oregon, is that you are not allowed to pump your own gas and the state taxes you an extra $0.10 a gallon to have people working to pump your gas for you (economic stimulus job creation thingy). What I do is go to the casino, its tribal land so you can pump your own gas and knock off this ten cent tax.
A more universal saving tip is to look for an Arco gas station. These guys don’t accept credit cards which allows them to offer gas for $0.10 to $0.15 a gallon less. This is because credit card companies charge a base charge plus a percentage to the merchant on every transaction. Eliminating credit cards means that this is about how much they save from not having to pay fees and they pass it on to you. There is a myth that their gasoline is cheaper because it is lower quality, this is simply not true.
