How to Save Money on Gas around Midway Airport


 

Do you like to save money? Who doesn’t like to save money! Today it seems like gas prices climb higher and higher and consumers are stuck paying whatever price the gas stations see fit. Believe it or not, there are a few unexpected ways you can save at the pump before your flight at Midway International Airport!

·         You know how an interstate exit sign will usually read:
       Brand A-0.1 mi -->
       Brand B-0.3 mi <--
       Brand C-0.8 mi -->
 
Brand C will actually be the cheapest price because it is further away! The closer the station is to a major thoroughfare, the more likely the owners are to up the prices.

·         When searching for a parking space, people waste the most time and burn up the most gas by trying too hard to get “the closest parking spot possible.” Drop your car off with Airway’s Parking and we will ensure you burn the least fuel possible!

·         Similarly, people who drove to the first open parking space they saw and walked, no matter how far from the entrance of where they were going, tend to get to the door first and burn the least fuel.

·         Interestingly enough, people who waited idly in their care for someone to pull out of a parking spot tend to get to the entrance last and burn the most fuel!

·         Fill up before you drop your car off at Airways Parking. This way your car is full and ready to go upon your return just in case gas prices rise steeply.

Don’t forget to make your free online reservation with Airway’s Parking! We will ensure that none of your gas is wasted while you are away!
