Track the average price of gas, crude oil in the US

How much have gas prices actually gone up and what can you do about it? I want to show you this chart that our get the Facts data team put together looking at national average gas prices. As of today, the average for *** regular gallon of gas is about 384. Compare that to *** month ago, it was 292. There’s also this map which shows you what prices look like across the country down to the county level, so you can see what they look like where you live specifically. All right, now, that said, what can we actually do to save on gas? And there are *** few things. So first, there is some data to suggest that timing actually does matter. This is new research from Gas Buddy. It varies by state, but they generally found that Sunday and Monday were the best days to fill up. And by the way, you can also use Gas Buddy to check the prices at gas stations where you live, so it’s really helpful. Before you head out the door. Another option you can check if your gas station or grocery store offers some kind of fuel points program because those can add up to real savings. Finally, I would say don’t forget memberships. Amazon Prime and Walmart Plus both offer gas savings, and then wholesale clubs like Costco, Sam’s Club, BJ’s, gas prices are typically *** little cheaper there.
