Local Study Offers Hints On When To Buy The Cheapest Gas

Cheap gas....something we never stop talking or dreaming about.

Here's the magic..It's all about which days of the week to fill up. Most people in Mid-Michigan drivers fill up their tanks on the weekdays. But according to a new study from Gasbuddy.com you might find the cheapest prices on the weekends.

A four-year study showed prices are often the lowest on the weekends. This holds true for Michigan and about two-thirds of the country.  There are a few reasons why gas stations offer more competitive prices Saturdays, Sundays and even Monday mornings.

It could be stations know that motorists are hitting the road and they try to get a leg up on their competition by dropping their price. It could also be because trading floors that trade crude oil are closed during the weekends.Happy motoring.
