For drivers looking to save this Labor Day weekend, there’s a few things to consider:
There are a few apps out there designed to help drivers find a gas station along their travel routes — and also the lowest price for gas. For starters, there’s AAA Triptik, GasBuddy, and Google Maps. Nerdwallet has a good list of the top gas apps.
Some research shows that drivers are adjusting their behavior to cut down on miles. Like, only heading out once a day to visit the store, bank, and run errands. Travelers can also follow this approach by combining multiple activities and errands into one trip.
Driving the speed limit, keeping tires properly inflated, and reducing air conditioning can all add up and play a role in reducing overall gas consumption. Avoiding traffic jams if possible and a lot of stop-and-go can also help with fuel efficiency.
Join fuel loyalty programs
Fuel loyalty programs can offer significant savings to drivers. You may find even your grocery store offers some type of program (also, The Points Guy listed some top loyalty program picks here). There’s also some newly launched programs aimed at helping road trippers. Sonesta International Hotels Corporation just announced it is teaming up with Shell and the Fuel Rewards® program to provide savings on gas to travelers through its Sonesta Travel Pass loyalty program.
