The national average cost for a gallon of gas increased this week as temperatures rise and manufacturers switch to more expensive summer fuel.
Gas prices rose again this week and aren't likely to drop as temperatures heat up and manufacturers switch to more expensive summer blend fuel, according to the latest AAA report. The national average cost for a gallon of gas increased to $3.41, a slight two-cent increase from the previous week. But oil costs keep rising, crossing the $80 a barrel mark, while demand keeps growing. These factors alone push up what drivers pay at the pump.
Price-conscious U.S. drivers can use these tips to save money at the pump, according to GasBuddy's annual Pump Habits study. Seventy-nine percent of drivers said they bought gas only to find it cheaper at the next station they drive by, according to the study. Using an app that displays gas prices in your area could help you avoid this costly mistake. Waiting until your tank is empty means less choice when pumping gas and lessens the opportunity to compare prices.
