How to save more on gas in Waukesha
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 Wisconsin
Wisconsin is Kwik Trip country, with hundreds of locations across the state that typically beat regional averages by 5 to 10 cents per gallon and offer popular fresh food and rewards programs. The state gas tax is around 33 cents per gallon. Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay all see relatively competitive pricing. Costco, Sam's Club, Kwik Trip, and Woodman's (a Wisconsin-Illinois grocery chain with fuel) lead on value across Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay metros. Northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior occasionally tracks Minnesota pricing thanks to Pine Bend refinery proximity, while southeastern Wisconsin near the Illinois border sometimes prices lower than nearby Cook County metros to capture Illinois cross-border shoppers.
