Gasoline purchase tips |
|
| |
Fill up on weekdays — typically prices rise on the weekend. The best times to buy gas are typically Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
|
|
| |
Find the brand of gasoline that works best for your vehicle. Keep track of your miles per gallon including the brand that you filled up with. Although most gasoline comes from the same pipelines, the additive packages used by different gasoline companies differ greatly.

| |
If you purchase your gasoline with a credit card already, consider getting a gasoline credit card from the company you purchase your gas with. Some give a 5 to 10 percent rebate on purchases.
|
|
| |
Look hard before purchasing gas at stations near freeways, many times their prices are higher.

The best time to fill tank is when you have half a tank of gas or less. Or feel free to purchase your gasoline when you find a low price that you cannot drive past.
|
|
| |
After filling up, be sure to click your gas cap at least 3 clicks. Improperly sealed gas caps allow fuel to vaporize out of your gas tank.

|
| |
Purchase your gasoline at a busy gas stations. High volume stations refill their underground tanks more often than gas stations that are not that busy. Stations that are not busy may have stale contaminated gas. Older fuel provides a lower level of fuel economy and performance.

|
| |
Avoid gas stations that just received delivery from their suppliers. When the underground tanks are refilled, it stirs up particles that lay at the bottom. If these particles get in to your gas tank they can lower the fuel efficiency of your car.
