Who of us doesn’t want to save money at the pump? You can do just that by filling up your car on a certain day.
It may sound strange, but which day you choose to put fuel in your car can make a big difference.
GasBuddy says the best day of the week to get gas in New Orleans is Saturday. That means if you tend to spend more gas money early in the week, you should at least try to have enough in the tank to last until Saturday. After that, it’s time to fill ‘Er up.
Now let’s go over some ways to save gas money in New Orleans:
If your car can stand it, use a lower grade of gasoline. Many cars can perform just as well if they use gas that isn’t premium. At the same time, if your car’s manual recommends premium petrol, that’s what you need to use in your car.
When your tires don’t have enough air, it throws off your fuel economy, which wastes your gas.
The key to saving money at the pump is to get gas on the days when the prices are lowest: For New Orleans, it’s actually on the weekend on Saturday. Make your dollars count by taking advantage of this hack.
