GasPennyPincher Champion Author Ontario Posts:2,390 Points:212,735 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: Mar 6, 2012 9:30:39 AM Ignore GasPennyPincher Report Abuse I don't know about a 'best day of the week' but I've noticed it always seems to go up before a holiday when people might be traveling. For example, next week is March Break in Ontario and with kids out of school, a lot of families take a vacation. Normally, I notice there would be an increase before the end of the week but since the price just shot up last week maybe it won't go up again this time. Good topic about the best day of the week--I think I remember something about that in the news but I can't remember the reasoning behind it.

ToyotaNV Rookie Author Nevada Posts:16 Points:20,345 Joined:Feb 2012	Message Posted: Mar 3, 2012 6:07:23 PM Ignore ToyotaNV Report Abuse I don't know if there's a general best day. I think there is no such a thing. Talking about Wednesday. The Maverik in Carson City, NV frequently INCREASES it prices on Tuesdays. I'm also pretty sure that owners will tend to increase prices should they find any pattern of us buying gas. However, I do know of the worst day. It is Saturday.

lissabee79 Rookie Author Texas Posts:9 Points:53,730 Joined:Dec 2011	Message Posted: Jan 19, 2012 8:39:47 PM Ignore lissabee79 Report Abuse I'll have to remember this...of course I'm commuting 45 min to work each day, 5 days a week. But if I could get most of my gas on Wednesday, I might catch a break. I always joke that the best day to get gas is the day AFTER I buy it. I've heard that buying gas in the morning is best (especially in hot Southern states like Texas) because it is better on your gas mileage or something?
