How to save more on gas in Mobile
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 Alabama
Alabama's state gas tax sits at roughly 29 cents per gallon, and the state benefits from direct pipeline access to Gulf Coast refineries in Louisiana and Mississippi. Mobile and Birmingham typically post some of the lowest prices in the Southeast thanks to short supply distances. Murphy USA stations (often attached to Walmart) lead on value across smaller cities, while Costco and Sam's Club dominate the metro areas. Buc-ee's has expanded into Alabama and pulls aggressive low pricing at its Leeds and Athens locations. Coastal Mobile occasionally sees hurricane-related price spikes when Gulf refining capacity is disrupted.
