Klarna teamed up with Chevron, which also owns Texaco gas stations, to offer the feature.
– It has almost been a week since gas prices started trending down.As of Thursday, according to AAA, the national average price for gas was $4.29 per gallon. Florida’s average price for gas was slightly lower, at $4.28 per gallon, while Georgia’s was $4.23.
While gas experts do believe these prices could drop even more if oil prices remain where they are, filling up is still putting a strain on everyone’s wallet.According to Moody’s Analytics, every 10-cent increase in the price of gas costs American consumers at least $11 billion over the course of a year. And with prices where they are right now, it could cost every household an extra $2,000.
News4JAX has been following gas prices for weeks now and has learned of a new feature that allows you to buy your gas now but pay later. We’re calling it gas layaway.While you can always put gas on a credit card, if you have a high-interest rate and don’t think you can pay it off, then you probably don’t want to do that. So this is an alternative option but only a few gas stations are participating.
The buy now, pay later payment method is nothing new. Companies like Affirm, Afterpay and Klarna have offered the option for most retailers for years. But in 2021, Any unused amount will be credited back to your account.The money will be split into four payments due over six weeks with no interest.Again, the service is free, but you do have to pay it back or you will get charged a late fee of up to $7.Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4Jax - All rights reserved.
