How to save more on gas in Lincoln
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 Nebraska
Nebraska draws pipeline supply from refineries in Wyoming (Cheyenne, Sinclair), Kansas (El Dorado, McPherson), and Iowa, with no in-state refining capacity. The state gas tax is around 30 cents per gallon, on the higher end for the Plains region. Omaha and Lincoln see the most competitive pricing thanks to Casey's, Costco, Sam's Club, and Bucky's (a Nebraska regional chain). Rural Nebraska along Interstates 80 and 76 sees fairly uniform pricing because of consistent pipeline delivery costs. The state's E10 ethanol mandate is partly satisfied by local corn-belt production, which keeps wholesale costs relatively stable through harvest seasons.
