Gas!!!!???

Question

is there a specific day or time of day when (in indiana particularlly) gas is cheapest?

Answer 1

try and get gas early in the morning before it heats up aoutside. gas expands and so if you get gas at say 5:00 pm, you are not getting an actual gallon of gas, at todays prices I definatly want what I`m paying for and not a bunch of vapors.

Answer 2

I read online gas tends to go down at night everywhere due to there being less traffic in and out of the stations it tends to be higher in the morning and afternoon with everyone going to and from work....Hope this helps

Answer 3

Tuesday evening

Answer 4

Generally gas prices change only once per day and the exact times vary from day to day.

One thing I have noticed is if you watch the general price of gas by the barrel on the Stock Exchange the price at the pump normally moves the same direction in about 4-7 days.

So...

If i see the barrel price goes up I will try to fill up before the price increase,

If the price goes down, I will try to wait and fill-up when the price goes down.

I live in Kokomo, IN and work in Carmel, IN and also notice that prices fluctuate between the two cities so I just try to look at the prices as I go in to work and leave and just hit the one with the lowest prices.  I think it is more luck than science though and I doubt I've really saved a large chunk of money.

Answer 5

it will never be cheaper at a certain time, however some gas stations charge you less if you pay cash or you can go to a wholesale club (i.e. Costco, Sam's, B.J.'s) Good luck I definately feel your pain
