Gas Prices ? ? ? ?

Question

Lets say the gas station next to your house is selling gas at $3.10 a gallon, and you know of a station about 15 miles away selling gas a $2.55 a gallon. Will you actually save money, if you drive all the way out of town to the station w/the cheaper gasoline price, or is it just better to go the station next door to your house at the higer price???

Answer 1

You save $0.55/gal by driving. Let's say you use a galon getting there & back so that costs you $2.55. If you buy 5 gal or more, you will save. The next question is it worth your time.

Answer 2

It depends if you're driving an SUV or a compact or sedan. For me, I usually won't go more than 3 miles away to get gas unless someone tells me there's a huge difference in price (like more than 20 cents) and I need a half a tank or more (I drive a Saturn sedan and it usually gets about 30-36 miles to the gallon). But it all depends. If it's 20 cents cheaper and 10 miles away, I'll probably go. However, I probably won't if it's 30 cents and 20 miles away.

Answer 3

The stations are zoned according to city growth and traffic density.

High-populace cities always have higher gas prices than their urban counterparts.

Answer 4

If you've got business in that direction, sure you'd save money cuz you're going that way anyway. Not sure I'd make a special trip for it.

Answer 6

That would depend on the car you're driving.

Answer 7

Dude, buy a calculator. Do the math.

Answer 8

yes, but you should drive there every day to top of your tank.
