According to GasBuddy.com, gas prices in the Milwaukee metro area have climbed from an average of $2.53 per gallon to about $2.75 per gallon over the last month.  To save money on gas, it pays to check the current Milwaukee gas prices for stations in your part of town.  For example, today the highest gas prices were recorded at $2.85 per gallon at a Shell station in New Berlin, and the lowest gas prices were at $2.63 in Cudahy.  On a sixteen gallon fillup, that is a difference of $3.52!  The Milwaukee Gas Prices website relies on local consumers to report gas prices, and also rewards members with points that can be used to participate in raffles to earn prizes.

Do you usually fill your gas tank up at the same gas station out of habit?  Looking to save money on gas?  Perhaps you might want to consider seeing if there is another convenient gas station by you that offers gas at a better price.  Check out this website to see the lowest and highest gas prices in the Milwaukee metro area.  It’s shocking to see the variance in prices.  For example, on October 14, 2008, the highest gas price was recorded at a BP station on the South side of Milwaukee for $3.07.  The lowest gas price was recorded at a BP station in Southwest Milwaukee for $2.68 a gallon!   On a sixteen gallon fillup, that is a difference of $6.24!

 

This map is a great feature on the website.  It allows you to see a map of the Milwaukee metro area so you can quickly find gas stations in your area that have reasonable prices.

 
Another cool map is the Gas Price Temperature Map.  It’s not practical, but the information is very interesting.
