What is the price of gas in my area?

Gas prices in your state can differ drastically, according to GasBuddy. Mississippi currently boasts the lowest per gallon regular gasoline cost ($2.848), followed by Oklahoma and Texas. Nationally, average gas prices have also decreased; they currently stand at an estimated national average price of $3.36 - down $0.01 since Wednesday and $0.04 since last week.

Delaware ranks highest for regular gas costs in the region, but remains significantly cheaper than Hawaii where an average gallon costs an average of $4.65. Delaware stands alone among four states where regular prices exceed $5.00 a gallon.

Cash payment can also save money. Gasoline vendors charge a small processing fee when processing credit card transactions, so they may offer discounts if you opt for cash. Loyalty cards at gas stations often bring additional discounts, while warehouse stores like Costco, Sam's Club and Walmart often sell discounted gasoline to their members.

Finally, when possible it is best to opt for regular-grade fuel instead of high-octane gasoline unless required by your vehicle manufacturer. Premium gas may cost 20-40 cents more per gallon; with proper car maintenance regular fuel can deliver comparable performance.

Some effective strategies for saving gas include cutting out unnecessary drives, using rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft, riding your bicycle or walking whenever possible and carpooling with coworkers or friends for long commutes; taking public transportation such as trains or buses when possible may also be an option; additionally try not idling your car while it sits idle as this wastes gas; even small steps taken over time can add up to significant savings!
