With the price of two of RVing's biggest expenses--campgrounds and fuel--going relentlessly up, a little planning and research can put a dent in your fuel costs. At home you probably know the cheapest gas stations, but on the road in unfamiliar areas, it is not as easy to find the low-priced gas stations.
The internet, thankfully, has enabled RVers to check in real time for the best fuel price as they travel across country. If you can estimate where you will need fuel, you can go online to one of the fuel price watch websites and search the area you are passing through or headed to for low-priced fuel.
These are some of the most popular websites. Always check more than one, as their updating may vary or one site may lag behind the other in posting updates in some locations.
Gas Buddy You can also download a Gas Buddy app for your iPhone from their website.
Gas Price Watch also shows how current each gas price posting is.
