A few tips to save on gas expenses

Currently we live in a place that still has relatively cheap gasoline. By ‘cheap’ I mean that we’re currently paying $2.89 a gallon. With our upcoming move now only two months away, the cost of gasoline has certainly been on my mind. And to be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw it hit $4.00 per gallon.

So I’ve been thinking of a few things we need to make sure we do to save where we can:

  • Drive less
  • Make sure the tire pressure is optimal
  • Check the air filter (replace if necessary)
  • Use cruise control (well, our car doesn’t have cruise control – a real pain when driving long distances – but yours might)
  • Use a gas rewards credit card (obviously don’t carry a balance)
  • Ues a gas gift card

Those are just a few off the top of my head. Feel free to leave any comments on some others I’ve missed. There are probably hundreds of ways to lower your gas bill. The best way is still to drive less :)
