I’ve been told for quite some time now that gas companies are only allowed to charge a certain amount above what they pay for the gas. The Department of Energy even has a site where consumers can report price gouging on gasoline.
A recent trip to Wal-Mart left me questioning what is going on around […]
Many of you will be traveling soon and with gas prices nearly $3 a gallon, we all could use some tips on ways to save.
1. Drive sensibly - Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration, braking) wastes gas. Driving sensibly can help increase your gas mileage by 5% for around town driving and 33% at highway speeds.
2. […]
I like the idea of hybrid cars. I think they can really save you money if you can afford the initial price. On average, the cost of a hybrid is around $4000-6000 more than the regular version of any given model. My question has always been why we have to absorb the price. I know […]
Finally! The gas prices have started going down. Now maybe it won’t cost me $30 to fill up the tank. Prices here where I live are $2.39/gallon. I had to laugh though because I went to pick up a friend and the gas station read $2.31/g and when I came back, the sign read $2.39. […]
I love the look of the Mini Cooper. It was a huge hit in the movie, The Italian Job. It is cute and thrifty with 28 mpg in the city! That is way better than my Lumina gets and certainly better than our F-150 gets. Now Subaru is getting in on the bandwagon of little […]
I love it when a great article is written to point out the advantages of sky-rocketing gas prices since the goods side is usually hard to find. TulsaWorld.com has a great article on how they expect people to stay closer to home and tour Oklahoma instead of traveling any distance. Makes good sense to me. […]
Have you seen the scooters on the roads lately? No surprise as to why. The gas prices went up $.13 where I live in only a week. I got spoiled paying $2.55/g. Well, the people who only have to drive around town have the right idea when they purchase a scooter […]
I heard on the radio yesterday that if you maintain proper tire inflation in your tires that you can save 9 cents/gallon on gas. The advertisement was from the rubber industry. I admit that I don’t know the exact company but I thought the idea is interesting. I have heard Mario Andretti say the same […]
I am from south Texas. I love that fact. But I was just watching Fox news and they just gave a report that the state of Texas will be raising the speed limit to 80 mph on some rural highways. Let’s see… Raise the speed limit on roads that have tractors and trailers traveling on […]
Gas prices have been going up and down for a while. Who is happy with paying up to $75 for a tank of gas? I’m not. I put $35 in mine the last time. What about the cars that get good gas mileage? Are there any cars out there that are actually thrifty to operate? […]
