Here’s how you can save 50¢ per gallon on gas this July 4 weekend
If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans taking to the road this July 4 holiday weekend, you’ll likely have this nagging thought cross your mind at least once: how much will it cost me to fuel up the car? The answer is, on average, $3.82 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA) as of the time of this writing. While that price per gallon is down from the $4.56 national average on May 21, it’s still well above the $3.15 national average during last year’s July 4 holiday period. The good news is that this weekend only, anyone who is an Amazon Prime member can save 50¢ per gallon on one fuel purchase, thus lightening the financial load just a little when celebrating America’s 250th. Here’s how. Amazon has announced that anyone in the United States with a Prime membership can save 50 cents per gallon on one fill-up at more than 7,500 select gas stations this July 4 holiday weekend. The 50¢-per-gallon savings promo runs from Thursday, July 2, until Sunday, July 5. While the discount is only available for one fill-up, the 50¢-per-gallon discount means those with average gas tanks of 10 to 30 gallons can potentially save between $5 and $15 on a full fill-up. To get gas savings, in addition to being an Amazon Prime US subscriber, you’ll also need a free BP earnify account and to fill up at select stations across the country.
