How to save more on gas in Charlotte
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 North Carolina
North Carolina sits on the Colonial Pipeline route, so its supply is closely tied to Gulf Coast refining and Charlotte's pipeline terminus. The state gas tax is around 41 cents per gallon, and the western mountain counties typically pay 5 to 10 cents more than coastal markets due to longer trucking distances. Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale, Sheetz, and Murphy USA are the value leaders. Sheetz dominates the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) while Murphy USA and Sam's Club lead in Charlotte and the Triad.
