Compare Gas Prices Before Leaving Home
A spokesperson for AAA Wisconsin was quoted in the Capital Times newspaper as saying that the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas could fall below $3 this fall. Although that’s good news to consumers, the fact is that U.S. gas prices are still much higher than just a year ago. According to AAA, the average price of gas is $3.62 a gallon, compared with $2.79 a year ago.
Looking for Cheap Fuel
Not all gas stations charge the same price, so it pays to have some help scouting out the best places to fill up. GasBuddy has become my go-to site for finding the cheapest fuel in my area. All I have to do is click on my state and put in my zip code to get a list of stations in my area with the best prices.
Prices Can Vary Block by Block
The site says gas prices can vary by as much as 20 cents within only a few blocks. So the site depends upon ordinary folks to post prices at stations in their area. You can also look to see which states have the highest and lowest gas prices. GasBuddy can even be accessed from your cell phone to find cheap gas.

Listen to the radio too. Some stations will broadcast the cheapest local gas station.

Search Google and find one of those “reward-based gas cards”. That way, as long as you pay your bills on time, you can actually save money no matter where you buy gas.

Even some navigation systems offer the service.
