Fast action would have saved $3
People complain about gasoline prices often, but not everyone stops to think how a price increase translates into out-of-pocket costs.
On July 31, this blog warned of an expected price spike in gasoline. Those who acted on that tip who went out and bought 20 gallons at the then-price of $2.83 a gallon, would have saved about 15 cents a gallon off current prices. That means they would have paid about $3 less for a fill up than they could today.
But when you’re trying to stretch a budget, every little bit helps.
