This Week's Best Gas Prices Near You

Every Monday Patch hunts down the best - and worst - gas prices at pumps in Malverne and West Hempstead.

If you want to have some extra cash in your pockets at the end of this week, then don't overpay to fill up your car's tank. Patch scoured the neighborhood to find the stations in Malverne and West Hempstead that have the best deals on gas right now.

Why pay $3.35 per gallon for regular gas at the Gulf stations in West Hempstead on Nassau Boulevard, when the American in West Hempstead and the in Malverne - both on Hempstead Avenue - have it for $3.27 per gallon. (If you're driving an SUV with a 30-gallon tank that's nearly $2.50 in savings when you fill up.)

If you're planning to pay with cash, either of these stations will work for you, but if you need to pull out a credit card, the Getty is your best bet. Unlike the American, which only accepts cash, the Getty takes major credit cards too and will not tack on any fees for using plastic.

The runners-up for regular gas prices are the Mobil on the corner of Westminster Road and Hempstead Turnpike in West Hempstead and the Gulf on Lakeview Avenue and Ocean Avenue on the Malverne-Lynbrook border. These pumps offer regular gas for $3.29 per gallon to both cash and credit customers.  Vega Gas and OK Petroleum in West Hempstead on Hempstead Avenue are both asking $3.29 per gallon for regular gas too, but at these stations, credit card customers will pay higher than the posted rate.  

The highest rates for regular gas were found at these West Hempstead stations: Hess on Hempstead Turnpike ($3.31 per gallon), the Gulf across from ($3.35 per gallon), and the Gulf and Mobil stations located at the intersection of Nassau Boulevard and Hempstead Turnpike ($3.35 per gallon).
