How to save more on gas in Morgantown
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 West Virginia
West Virginia's mountainous terrain adds trucking cost to fuel delivery, especially in the southern coalfield counties where stations are widely spaced and supply runs are long. The state gas tax is around 36 cents per gallon. Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown all see relatively competitive pricing thanks to proximity to Marathon Catlettsburg Kentucky and pipeline supply from Pennsylvania and Ohio. Sam's Club, Sheetz (popular in northern and eastern West Virginia), Costco, and GoMart lead on value. The state's panhandle region near Pittsburgh tracks Pennsylvania pricing rather than central West Virginia averages, while the southern Appalachian counties near Virginia and Kentucky often run 5 to 15 cents above the state average.
