This might be slightly off-topic, but with gas prices sky rocketing over $4 per gallon, this is very important. Below are some ways you can save your money when it comes to high price gasoline:
(1) Do your research.
Look at websites like GasNearU to determine the stations that have the lowest gas prices in your local area.
(2) Plan ahead.
Before stepping out of the house, make a list of all the errands that you need to run. Then map out your tasks by determining what's nearby or on your way and plan the most gas efficient route.
Feeling overwhelmed? Or maybe just lazy? The program Remember the Milk will do this entire step for you...
(3) Stay on schedule, be on time.
Knowing when your car needs to go into the shop for tune ups, oil changes, and tire rotations is only half the battle. Making and keeping the maintenance appointments are the second half. By accomplishing each half, your car will remain the well-oiled machine that it was made to be...all while helping stretch the gas as far as it can go!
(4) Purge to remove excess weight.
According to FuelEconomy.gov, you should "avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%."
(5) Purchase a fuel efficient vehicle. You can start by a visit to Hotsellingcars.com and search for Hybrid or other high miles per gallon cars.
(6) Consider even a smaller vehicle and get yourself a motorcycle.
