The idea of this article is to give you a list of things that can be done not only to save on gas prices, but also help lower fuel cost.
Excessive Use of Gas
Okay, I'll admit I'm just as guilty. I still use gas to get to places I could walk to. I'm thinking that we could use this as an opportunity to get some exercise. If your destination is only a few blocks to a mile away, walk to it. It will do you a lot of good. Plus it will help you save some gas to. I also see a lot of larger vehicles out there. Unless you have a large family, they're not really necessary. People spend hundreds each week filling them up. Save that money, buy yourself a more fuel efficient car.
Car Pool to Work
If one or more of your co workers lives in the same area, ride together. Offer to give them some gas money while you're at it. This will help lower both parties' fuel costs. Yours, because your not driving your car, and theirs. Consider this a chance to make new friends too. You get to know a person pretty well when you ride with them everyday.
Ride the Bus
If the city you live in has a public transportation system-use it. Environmentalist knew what they were talking about when they said using public transportation is a great way to cut back on emissions. Now, it's also a great way to save on fuel prices. It's also a great way to see the city too. Remember, it's not just the government in control of the gas prices, it's us too.
