How to save more on gas in Bangor
1. Use warehouse clubs

2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.

About gas prices in Maine
Maine receives most of its fuel through pipeline and tanker shipments from refineries in New Brunswick (Irving Oil Saint John) and from the Boston-area distribution network. The state gas tax is around 30 cents per gallon, slightly higher than New Hampshire and Vermont but lower than Massachusetts. Portland sees the lowest pricing in the state, with Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale, and Cumberland Farms competing aggressively. Northern Maine (Bangor, Presque Isle) typically runs 10 to 20 cents above Portland due to longer trucking distances, with Sam's Club and Cumberland Farms providing the cheapest options in Bangor. The state's harsh winters and ethanol-blend requirements create seasonal price swings between November and April.
