Some Americans have reportedly started traveling 120 miles across state borders for cheaper gasoline

Idiots, burn more than you save

It said Explorer hybrid for that part, so i was curious and looked it up.

26mpg, 18gallon tank, $7/gal in one state and $4 in the next state over

Thats about 5 gallons to drive 120 miles

It costs $126 to fill up in the $7 state, and $72 in the $4 state

Thats a $50 savings pump vs pump, but $40 in gas to get there and back again IF that gas is from the cheap state

Ill pay the extra $10 and avoid crazy mileage on my car, thanks

But like you said the gas must be from the cheap state to begin with so they will take multiple trips to even need to break even and then the cost must stay that low in the other state each time. But yes the wear on the car will cost more in the long run.
