Strategies to Save on Fuel
Although the price of gasoline and diesel has decreased compared to previous months, many drivers in Spain are looking for ways to reduce their fuel expenses. Changing the way you drive can be key to achieving greater fuel efficiency, which implies adopting strategies that reduce engine wear and, therefore, increase the vehicle’s range, thus reducing the frequency of visits to the gas station.
In addition, the choice of gas station can influence fuel consumption. Although drivers cannot control prices, searching for stations with lower fares through apps or websites can be beneficial. Although these stations are not always close, making a small trip can mean considerable savings on each recharge.
The Ideal Time to Refuel
As for the most convenient time to refuel, several factors must be considered. Prices are usually higher on weekends due to higher demand, so filling up on Mondays can be cheaper at most gas stations in Spain.
Regarding the time of day, according to the Organization of Consumers and Users, prices tend to be lowest around midnight or in the early hours of the morning.
