How to save more on gas in Sarasota
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 Florida
Florida's 38-cent state gas tax is layered with county-level surcharges that vary by 5 to 15 cents, so prices in Miami-Dade and Broward typically run higher than rural counties such as Marion or Pasco. The state operates zero in-state refineries, importing every gallon by pipeline or ship through Tampa, Jacksonville, and Port Everglades, which leaves Florida prices unusually sensitive to hurricane disruptions. Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale, RaceTrac, and Wawa are the most reliable for value across Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando metros, with the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando especially competitive.
