How to Save More Money on Gas

You'll learn tips on how to save the next time you fill up your gas tank.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. PAY WITH CASH
   
   Some gas stations charge as much as 14 cents more per gallon for those who pay with a credit card. Every time someone pays with a credit card, the gas station has to pay a fee. To offset this fee, some gas stations raise the price of gas for those who pay with credit.

2. FILL UP AT THE GROCERY STORE
   
   Some grocery stores (such as Kroger) have gas stations in their parking lots. When you buy groceries and they scan your customer card, you get to save usually up to 10 cents a gallon on your gas.

3. CHECK ONLINE BEFORE YOU LEAVE
   
   By searching websites such as gaspricewatch.com you can see the cheapest place in your area to buy gas before you even leave.

4. RUN, WALK, BIKE
   
   Instead of driving a mile or two to the library, post office, or store, how about riding your bike or walking instead? By wearing a backpack or attaching a cargo rack to the back of your bike, you can carry a bag of groceries, mail, etc. Not to mention, you'll get great exercise and some fresh air!

5. SLOW DOWN AND USE YOUR CRUISE CONTROL
   
   By going under 60 mph and setting the cruise, you can save over 30% in fuel economy.

6. CHECK YOUR VEHICLE
   
   Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Install a new air filter if needed. Basically, make sure your car is in good running condition and you'll save more on gas.
