How to save more on gas in Paterson
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
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.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in New Jersey
New Jersey's gas tax was around 42 cents per gallon as of recent updates, having risen significantly since 2016 to fund the Transportation Trust Fund. The state operates several refineries (Bayway, Linden, Phillips 66) which historically meant cheaper prices, but recent refinery closures have shifted the balance toward pipeline and tanker imports. New Jersey is also one of two states (Oregon being the other) where self-service is restricted, which adds a small per-gallon labor cost. Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale, Wawa, and QuickChek lead on value.
