On average, gas is always cheaper in the U.S. You can use this as a rule of thumb when making a decision about what side of the border you should fill up the tank on. Depending on the size of your fuel tank, the money you save could easily cover the cost of a short shopping trip across the border (if you live nearby) or even treat you to a free lunch!
