Singh sells gas for approximately 50 cents less than his buy price to help his clients experience less pain at the pump as a result of high gas prices. He and his wife are working longer hours to compensate for the loss in gasoline sales.

Singh said his customers buy roughly 1,000 gallons of gas per day, implying that he loses $500 per day by selling his fuel for a lower price. His loss does not deter him since he wants to do everything he can to help others cope with the increasing price of fuel.

According to AAA, filling up your gas tank is becoming increasingly stressful as the national average gas price surpasses a record $5, and the price per gallon in Arizona is even more than the national average. However, thanks to Singh’s aid, Phoenix residents now have a gas station that can give them the best possible price, even if it causes a deficit for the owner.

“My mother and my father did teach us to help if you have something. If you have something you have to share with other people,” Singh said.

More consumers buying products from inside the gas station compensate for Singh’s loss.

People around the country are still struggling to purchase gas for their vehicles. With petrol costs rising, many are trying to save money by walking or biking to work, utilizing public transportation, taking fewer trips to the supermarket, and avoiding long drives.

However, not everyone can evade using their cars. Many people live in places without public transit or in homes that are too far away from their destination. These individuals may benefit from using apps such as GasBuddy, Gas Guru, Waze, or AAA TripTik Travel Planner, which help users in locating the cheapest gas in their area, allowing them to save a few cents per gallon.

Hopefully, gas costs will return to a more reasonable amount soon, but in the meantime, people will continue looking for strategies to save, and perhaps more people like Singh will find creative ways to help. We’re all in the midst of a gasoline crisis, and it’s inspiring to see someone so ready to help others without asking anything in return.
