10 Ways to Save Money This Summer #5
Fuel Up for Less — and Make It Last
If you're like me and you're nostalgic for a time when a gallon of gas was $.99 (!), and your summer plans now involve lots of road time, don’t put the key in the ignition without knowing the best ways to save. Before you leave, check your route for gas prices (GasBuddy.com) and tolls (maps.google.com, choose “Avoid Tolls”). Then, use cash at the pump. In many areas, gas is cheaper (by a few cents a gallon) if you pay with cash, rather than a credit card. And avoid one of the biggest summer road-trip gas-guzzling culprits: your lead foot. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, every 5mph that you drive over 60mph costs you another $0.21 to $0.71 a gallon.
