Finding cheap gas in Purvis (39475)
Purvis is the seat of Lamar County, a small piney-woods town of under 2,000 about 15 miles north of Hattiesburg. Daily life moves at a measured pace, and most residents do their serious shopping and commuting up the road, which shapes a fuel scene built around the highway rather than a dense retail strip.
Both US-11 and Interstate 59 run past the town, and the handful of stations near those routes serve a steady mix of locals topping off and commuters heading to Hattiesburg jobs. Because the count of stations here is small, prices can differ noticeably from one stop to the next.
Mississippi's low fuel taxes keep the baseline cheap across this part of the state, so even the small-town stops here post modest numbers. With Hattiesburg's larger, more competitive market only a short drive north on US-11 or I-59, many Purvis drivers simply fill up there when they are already making the trip, and compare a couple of the in-town stations on the days they are not.

How to save more on gas in Purvis
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 Mississippi
Mississippi has one of the lowest state gas taxes in the country at roughly 18 cents per gallon and draws fuel directly from Gulf Coast refineries in Louisiana plus the Chevron Pascagoula refinery on the Mississippi coast. Jackson, Gulfport, and Hattiesburg all post pump prices among the lowest in the nation. Murphy USA at Walmart locations leads on value across smaller cities, with Sam's Club and Costco dominant in Jackson, Gulfport, and Hattiesburg metros. Buc-ee's has expanded into Mississippi and pulls aggressive low pricing at its locations. Coastal Mississippi occasionally sees hurricane-related price spikes when Gulf refining capacity is disrupted, but recovery is typically faster than Texas or Louisiana.
