I just spent bought about 3 and 1/2 gallons of gas today. Now why the hell would I do that you ask. That’s just under a 1/4 tank of gas for me, so what’s my point? It’s almost Easter and a lot of people are going to be traveling on Friday since it’s a long weekend, including me. Given the current trend in gas prices, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the price is going to spike on Wednesday or Thursday. The demand is about to be high for gas, so that stations, like they always do, are going to raise prices so that they can cash in for the holiday. So, it’s in your best interest to fill up a couple days before a big holiday.

This strategy works brilliantly for holidays and also in general. If you notice that gas is steadily increasing, catch it before it continues to rise. It is highly unlikely that prices are going to drop, so holding out and running on that last couple 2 gallons on gas waiting for the price to drop, it’s going to help you in the least bit.

Too often have I been bitten by this. Seeing a spike in price and holding out till I’m damn near empty. Then the fuel light comes on and I need to pull into a gas station just to see that the price has risen 10 cents from when I could have gotten a half tank. Don’t delay, fill up today. Wow, that rhymes.
