Gasoline Prices! Give us a BREAK!!!

I know that the average gasoline prices have gone down slightly, but they are still very high! I also know that the majority of the gas companies have lowered they pump prices due to the recent announcement that they are going to be audited to make sure they aren't price gouging.  My thoughts are if they can lower them and still make plenty of money, they must be gouging!  What do you think?  Please comment using the comment option on this blog....

I thought I would offer some gas saving tips that I found in a local publication I get each month. These are ideas that most of us know or could have logically figured out but it's good to be reminded. I've tried many of them and they are "tried and true" to save me gas  in my vehicle.

1. Fill up your tank on Wednesday or Thursday before 10am. Gas prices rise on Thursdays in anticipation of the weekend travel.


2. Don’t let your car idle more than one minute. It burns more gas than starting the car.

3. Buy gas when the temperature is cooler to reduce gas evaporation.

4. Remove unnecessary items in your car. 250 extra pounds eats up an extra mile per gallon of gas.

5. Plot the shortest route and combine trips.

6. Keep windows closed on highways. Open windows increase resistance and reduce gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. In stop and go traffic, open the windows and turn the A/C off.

7. Confirm with your mechanic the octane level required for your vehicle. Your auto manual may “recommend” a certain level, but what is required.

8. Download a Gas App to help shop area gas prices

9. Buy discount gas cards. www.giftcardgranny.com offers a huge selection of gift cards priced lower than the value.

10. Use cruise control on highways. Steady driving saves gas. If you can, set the cruise for 5 miles below the stated MPH to save even more. (I’ve tried this on my commute to work and have added an extra day to my gas tank usage)
