Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Except on very long trips, we always use GasBuddy or another gas finder app to see where we can buy gasoline the cheapest every time we fill either of our cars. We know from experience which stations all around us usually have lower prices (like Costco) and there’s a limit to how far out of our way we’ll drive to save, say 5-10 miles since that offsets savings. And we’re in the habit of noting gas prices at stations near us whenever we’re out even when we don’t need to refuel.
I realize some folks never use apps or other tools just fill up wherever they are without much regard for $/gal other than maybe comparing stations within sight of each other. And I don’t know if it’s still common but I know some folks used to just go to their “regular station,” near home or work, without comparison shopping.
So I wondered how common it is to comparison shop for auto gas/diesel? I guess using apps or other software may be the best determinant?
I wanted to add saving by conserving gas (e.g. consolidating trips, high MPG cars, etc.) but I decided to keep this poll simple.
