According to GasBuddy, the best time to fill up is on the weekends. That's when gas prices are lowest.
Gas prices are expected to continue rising. Analysts say its due in part to President Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Iran Nuclear deal and threatening heavy sanctions on one of the world's largest oil producers.
