We use Gas Buddy and look at prices along the route. We generally never let it get below 1/2. If we see a good price not found on Gas Buddy we stop and fill, if it is convenient to do so.
It gets below 1/2 then we may stop just for convenience not price. But saving .50 per gallon, not uncommon, a mile down the road from Interstates, that's a 50.00 savings on our small 100 gallon tank. Many times we cannot take advantage of the prices though, such as some Wal Marts and Coscos. Just too tight to get in unless it is very early or late.
Our Flying J/Pilot card get us five cents off a gallon. I don't want another credit card or I would Get Penn Fed and save 5%. Between the two. on 300.00 roughly for 100 gallons of fuel that's 50.00. $50.00 x 8 tanks round trip across country etc that's 400.00.
So I suppose I ought to get it.
Yeh I know. The Pilot/Flying J card is only good at their stations but occasionally we have found hem the price leader, but rarely.
