Top 25 ways to save at the gas pump

GaspumpHere are just a few of the tips:

  • Fill up on weekdays—because prices usually rise on the weekend. The cheapest times to buy gas are typically Tuesday midday or Wednesday morning.
  • Avoid gas stations near freeways, however, because prices are often higher there.
  • Avoid topping off. When you purchase just a bit of gas at the gas station the pump doesn’t have enough time to really activate, resulting in short bursts of fuel that may short change you from the amount of gas that you are purchasing.
  • Avoid idling. If you have to sit in your car for more than one minute, shut off the engine.
  • Park in the shade. This minimizes fuel evaporation and helps keep your car cool in the summer.

The complete list is here.
