Worst Days to Get Gas in Missouri

If you miss out on getting gas on Monday, that’s okay—but whatever you do, DON’T get gas on Saturdays. That’s the worst day of the week to fill up. Think about it: more people are traveling on weekends, and gas stations know it, so they hike up the prices just a bit to take advantage. Maybe that’s why Monday ends up being the best day for deals.
