Practical tips that actually work at the pump.

Use GasBuddy or Waze — Real-time crowd-sourced prices show you the cheapest station within 2 miles.
Fill up on Monday or Tuesday — Gas prices typically peak on Thursday–Friday before weekends.
Keep tires inflated — Under-inflated tires reduce fuel economy by up to 3%. Check monthly.
Warehouse club gas — Costco, Sam's Club often have prices 5–15 cents below street price.
Use cruise control on highways — Maintains steady speed and can improve MPG by 7–14%.
Tip: Regular unleaded is fine for most cars — premium only helps if your owner's manual requires it, not just recommends it.
