People don’t stop using their cars to go out on weekends, to work, etc. Of course, one way or another, they will eventually have to stop to refuel. All this encourages drivers to look for save on gas.
Fuel Savings Are Possible When You Pay Attention
If you pay attention to where and when you fill up, you can save a lot of money. In this sense, it is possible to visit the cheapest gas stations or join the loyalty programs of different oil companies.
In Germany, drivers use a few tricks that allow them to pay up to 40 cents less for every liter of gasoline or diesel they consume.
The goal is to avoid paying at gas stations located on highways and highways. From the German Automobile ClubADAC, has been carried out an analysis of the prices practiced at gas stations, depending on where it is located and the saving capacity, which can go up to fifty-four cents in cases of greater exaggeration.
In this sense, at ADAC, what they do is Advise drivers to take detours to refuelassuring that many times it will be interesting. A high surcharge is also not justified, this must be taken into account.
Another tip that German drivers follow to save fuel is to always refuel in the afternoon. The ADC has demonstrated in this sense that prices tend on average to fall by a few cents per liter compared to those in the morning.
A situation that also occurs in our country
As they say, this is also experienced in Spain, but in a particular way. East better not to put gas in the early afternoonthat is, when the heat is strongest or at the end of the day, also checking the prices that will be available at the nearest gas stations.
Quality and quantity of fuel at low-cost gas stations
Speaking of fuels, the quality of gas station pumps, one of the doubts usually concerns the quality of low-cost stations, where the company called National Accreditation Entity They carry out periodic checks which must be respected, as if they were Technical Inspection of Vehicles.
This independent company inspects and certifies that the liters you pay are worth it, as well as meeting established safety standards.
Distributors must display the label with the date of inspection, as well as the expiration date.
And the doubts?
In case of doubt about the accuracy of the quantity of fuel they serve us, we must be aware that even low-cost gas stations must comply with a series of obligations where they must make available to customers a volumetric flask of ten liters.
We are talking about a container with which it is possible to measure a liquid precisely. Any measurement error greater than 0.5% The fact that this is detected will be a crime on the part of the gas station, so it will be difficult for us to find ourselves in a situation where they try to deceive with the amounts in this regard.
It is also possible that we often rationally doubt whether low-cost English petrol stations provide us with fuel that will be of the same quality in a station of one of the important brands in the oil sector.
There is a widespread idea that another series of liquids will be added to reduce the price of gas stations, but this is not true. To do this we need to know what it is CLH, the Hydrocarbon Logistics Companywhich can supply fuel to a gas station.
In the end, you pay more for the services
What we have to stick to is that you end up paying more for these additional services that traditional gas stations have and that many low-cost stations usually lack, such as the store, laundromat and others, making the price of refueling higher to compensate for the investment in all this and ensure profitability.
