How to save more on gas in Riverhead
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 York
New York's gas tax sits near 49 cents per gallon when you fold in petroleum business taxes, motor fuel taxes, and the prepaid sales tax, giving it one of the higher per-gallon burdens nationally. New York City and Long Island both require reformulated gasoline (RFG) to meet federal clean-air standards, which adds a few cents over upstate prices and explains why a station in Buffalo prices noticeably below an equivalent in Queens. Costco, Sam's Club, Speedway, and Stewart's Shops in the Hudson Valley tend to be your cheapest options across New York City, Buffalo, and Syracuse metros.
