Patrick De Haan, Senior Analyst at oil in GasBuddy
Senior oil analyst at GasBuddy, Patrick De Haan, warned that it is very It is difficult to make accurate forecasts about the fuel situation beyond a few weeks because it is the decisions made by OPEC from one moment to the next that determine what will happen.
The amount you will end up paying will depend on the gas station where you decide to go The highest average price is in California, at $5.84 per gallon, and the lowest in Georgia, at $3.90 per gallon.
But there is also the possibility of significant disparities in fuel prices within the same city. GasBuddy’s pricing map shows the Speedway Express station at 4069 State Street in Santa Barbara, California, charging the regular gallon at $5.49, while only a few accounts miles is the Chevron station at 675 Coast Village Road charging it at $6.19.
Which makes clear the disparity of prices in the stations despite their short distance, is that choosing where to buy gasoline can make a significant difference between what you spend to keep your car on the road. Simple calculations by Consumer Reports based on this data say the difference could be spending $ 500 dollars more per year depending on the station you choose.
There are also drivers who buy gasoline with superior characteristics those who actually need their car. For this, it will always be important, and more so in these times, to review the manufacturer’s manual to make the right decision.
