Best time to buy gas

 I wanted to share a recent study done by GasBuddy, they found that in 2021 Thursday was “the most expensive day of the week by far” to fill up your vehicle in 28 states. Studies in previous years found the weekend days to be the costliest. The next most costly day is Wednesday. By contrast, Monday is the best day to fill up if you are looking for a bargain. The first day of the week consistently offered the cheapest prices in 17 states last year. Monday also took the same honor in GasBuddy’s 2017, 2018 and 2019 studies. Hard to believe but Friday is also a great day to find cheap gas. As recently as 2019, Friday was among the most expensive days to fill up, but that changed in 2021. Though there is variation in daily gas prices across different states, the consensus is that filling up at the beginning or end of the work week, on Monday or Friday, is the best way to save money. Following Monday, Sunday is the cheapest day to fill-up.
