Get The Cheapest Gas Here, Southern Utah

We could argue until we're blue in the face about whether or not it's cheaper to drive a few extra miles to save a few cents per gallon on gas, but ultimately it's really up to you.

I have a friend who drives out to the Shivwits Convenience Store to gas up every time, even though he lives in Washington City.

I told him, "You know, you're spending gallon or two just to get out there." But his reply was very telling, "You're probably right, but I don't really care. It feels good to pay the cheaper price, plus they have great jalapeno hot dogs."

The bottom line is this: If you like where you currently go, a few cents per gallon doesn't really matter that much.

For instance, my wife's Subaru has a 16-gallon tank. If we fill it up with one gallon left in the tank, saving five cents a gallon still only nets us an extra 75 cents. And since we don't put a lot of miles on our cars, it's just not worth the extra drive to save a few cents.

So we'll continue to gas up close to home, even if it costs a (very) little more.

Nationally, gas is listed by AAA as being $3.16 per gallon. If we lived in California, we could expect to pay nearly five bucks a gallon ($4.85 to be precise), while folks in Texas and Louisiana are paying a nation's best $2.76 per gallon.
