Gas Prices? Do you use any apps? Credit cards with discounts?

3.99 at Costco here.

 

haha right?! Anyone believe that transitory inflation stuff is dreaming. Granted, gas prices do tend to fluctuate more than other costs that go up but never come down.

Having traveled a lot this year, I can't believe how expensive AZ is. Was happy in TX paying mid-high 2.xx's, went back to Jersey bummed to be paying low 3.xx's and now hating AZ's prices which are high 3.00's to even low 4.xx's!!

 

There are reasons to pay the annual fee for an airline credit card, especially if the fee is less than what you'd pay in baggage fees.
Everyone's situation is different, and you must perform due diligence to determine if the cost is right for you.

 

Which part? The discount? Privacy? Confusing tracking algorithms?

 

Nope. Don’t care. Need gas. I just fill up.

 

I am getting hit hard this year. Two trips across the country and paying for fuel oil and propane for my house. I paid almost 3k for fuel last month. If I can save a bit here and there. I can take another vacation or keep buying Cryptos.

 

Ouch!!!

 

$4.05 at Costco Monday

 

Same, I’ve cashed out a few times, no issues.

 

Back when gas was 40-50 cents/gallon saving 5 or 10 cents was a big deal. But with gas at $3 to $4/gallon saving 10 cents isn't a big deal. If there are 2 fuel stations on opposite sides of the road and if I have the choice of making a left turn into one and another left turn to leave, I'd choose the one where I only have to make 2 right turns and pay 5 cents more/gallon. I might make 2 left turns to save 10 cents/gallon if traffic is light.

 

Depending on how much gas you use the 60/year Costco membership usually pays for itself in gas savings. Usually about 30ish cents a gallon cheaper. If you have multiple family members that drive it can add up quickly

 

Same here - my AmEx is 3% back on gas.

Cumberland Farms offers 10 cents off if you tie their app to your bank account. I don't like things being pulled directly from my checking account - it just isn't how I budget, so I continue to use a credit card and usually the 3% works out about the same as the 10 cent savings would anyway.

 

Today it is $4.29 at the pumps. I am glad I picked up a CC with 5% cashback on fuel and food. The apps definitely help for sure.

 

5% cash back on discover card April-June.
The problem up here is most stations charge a premium to use a cc vs cash price. It’s almost a wash.

 

The only cash deal is 15 miles away at $3.67. math is not my thing

 

Always try to use grocery points. Everything is more expensive but people mainly complain abt fuel.

 

This week should be better for me. I only will be going 80 miles Roundtrip compared to last week's 200 miles per day. Hopefully we get of this winter fuel mix sooner than later. That will help

 

Curious ... Here in Georgia the legislature is working to pass a temporary pause on state gas tax. Any other states pursuing this type of pause?

 

Nothing here in NY for a Tax vacation

 

Oh crap. I posted fake news earlier. Today is $3.99 down 30 cents from yesterday.
