How to save more on gas in Newtown
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 Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has the highest motor-fuel tax in the country at roughly 58 cents per gallon, a legacy of using gas-tax revenue to fund the state highway system rather than relying on tolls. Sheetz, Wawa, and Rutter's are the regional powerhouses for value pricing across Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown, while Costco and Sam's Club fuel offer the cheapest absolute prices when membership math works out. Western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, Erie) draws fuel from Ohio refineries and tends to price 5 to 10 cents below Philadelphia, which pulls from Northeast pipeline shipments and reformulated gasoline blending.
