Gas prices got you down? This Waze trick finds the cheapest stations near you

1. Access the gas station search

Launch the Waze app on your mobile device and tap "Where to?" — this is the mai search bar where you normally enter your destinations.

Next, look for the gas pump icon or you can search "Gas station".

2. Review nearby stations and prices

Waze will display a list of gas stations closest to your current location, complete with addresses, distances, and current gas prices.

You can sort these results by "Best Match", "Open Now" and "Top Rated", among others. This will help you figure out which gas station is the most convenient for you.

3. Choose the cheapest gas station

Select the cheapest gas station from the list by tapping the price displayed on the map and tap "View routes" to see the available navigation options.

4. Navigate to your chosen station

Once you're ready to head out, tap the "Go now" button at the bottom right of the screen. Waze will then provide you with turn-by-turn directions to get you there.

5. Customize your gas station searches

You can personalize your gas station search experience by tapping "preferred gas type" and "preferred brand" in the Waze settings under "Gas stations."

This customization ensures the app shows you relevant options that match your vehicle's requirements and your personal preferences, making your search results more targeted and useful.
